Her rating at the end 💀 you guys picked COW TONGUE for my wife. How am I supposed to convince her to give this a good rating?! Let’s make these Lengua tacos and find out 😬

TONGUE
2.5-3 lb whole beef tongue
1 white onion, halved
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp black peppercorns
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp lard or neutral oil, to sear

SALSA VERDE
1 lb tomatillos, husked
2 serrano chiles
1/4 white onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley (we don’t use cilantro in this house 🤢)
1 lime

TO SERVE
12 corn tortillas 
1 white onion, fine diced
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped fine 
3 limes, wedged
Optional cheese
Hot sauce @stuzzihotsauce 

METHOD
1. Rinse the tongue, into a deep pot with the onion, garlic, bay, peppercorns and salt. Cover with water by two inches.

2. Simmer gently, lid ajar, 3 hours or 60 minutes in a pressure cooker. Done when a knife goes into the thickest part with no resistance at all.

3. Straight into ice water for 2 minutes. The shock is what loosens the skin.

4. The peel. Nick the outer skin at the thick end and pull it comes away in one piece like a glove. Underneath is pale, tender meat that looks like nothing else.

5. Dice into rough half-inch pieces, trimming any gristle from the root end.

6. Get a skillet ripping hot with the lard. Sear the meat in a single layer, do not move it for 3 minutes, then toss and go another 2. You want crisp brown edges.

7. Salsa: tomatillos, serranos, onion and garlic under the broiler until blackened in patches, 8 minutes, turning once. Blend with the parsley, lime juice and salt. Leave it a little chunky.

8. Make tortillas according to masa instructions, stack meat, onion, parsley, salsa, lime and cheese  #cookingchallenge #lengua #cooking
