MeatEater's How to Cook Tongue

[@mikewatters3924]

Cooked up a moose tongue this way this weekend. Used a pressure cooker to speed up the process. Had a half dozen squeemish people change their minds about tongue including myself. Thanks for recipe and great video. The visual component to this dish is a big part of its success.

[@RustinCoziahr]

Steve cares about getting us to eat all the weird bits just as much as he cares about conservation. I'm into it. I'll try this next year.

[@gottabweird]

I think they somewhat go hand in hand. Out of respect for the animal, you conserve the land it lives on and you try to use as much of it as possible when you kill it for the table.

[@gokuvegeta4378]

I’m kaska and Tahltan “Native American Indian” and my grandparents eat pretty much everything except the lungs and stomach and that’s not a joke we eat it all

[@ryan1127]

Goku Vegeta I have cooked several birds whole that didn’t have the lungs scraped out and I ended up scraping and eating them. Seemed just fine to me! Obviously different with a big game animal, but... not out of the question haha

[@kookbrah640]

Tongue is pretty common in Mexican and Asian food pretty good it’s basically reallly soft meat if you stew it

[@sasacahunek9990]

I'll give this a try with moose calf tongue. Horseradish is my usual condiment, here in Alberta its abundant along river banks. Butter fried liver and lungs, sprinkle with chopped garlic and parsley give that a wirl. Rarely do i see people eat lungs(in some parts of Europe its known as "white liver"). Every bit as delicious as actual liver. Cheers

[@HectorGarcia-ry9mp]

U can also make it into tacos i make beef tongue tacos all the time its delicious not sure whats the flavor profile of moose though

[@onixtheone]

Tongue also makes amazing tacos!

[@anthonyvega5400]

Onix Junes I’ve heard definitely try one day

[@ronaldtrask3444]

The best!!!!

[@jasonramirez3530]

I was gonna say, Novelty? Tacos de Lengua are damn good!!!! I suspect that this would be good as well

[@DAAraiz]

I’ve been eating tongue my whole life. it’s fantastic. glad to be part Mexican.

[@isay2k278]

That's what I'm saying...this is so common to me that I don't get what the big deal is!

[@rootintootin5167]

Lengua is amazing for tacos :):):)

I have gained a lot of respect for guys who hunt properly by watching your shows. You should try an Iranian dish called Kalle Pache. You boil sheep head on medium heat for 4-6 hours. Turmeric, salt, a dash of cinnamon, onions and garlic. You can eat the meat on the face, the eye balls (remove the black of the eye), tongue and the brain, with some lemon juice sprinkled on top. The water is also delicious.

[@finnmint_99]

The only way I've had tongue up to this point is a pickled bison tongue. It was a great flavor, and it fell apart wonderfully. I recently got 3 pig tongues that I'm going to use this recipe for. I'm super excited to try it!

[@wtfbehindyou1892]

How did it come out?

[@beardoggin8963]

How fitting. Just had Beef tongue tacos for the first time yesterday... *Dang* ive been missing out for so long. Was wondering about how venison tongue would be.

[@joelcurtin9409]

Could you do one of your short videos on removing the tongue? Any tricks/tips, or just hack it out? I’m all about tacos de lengua, and I’d like to start taking the tongue as part of my butchering process.

[@greenfish13]

I was once given a piece of pig tongue at a luau by the cook and it has since become my favorite piece of meat from an animal. I haven't had tongue since that time. It's been at least 10 years.

[@ZGADOW]

Im going to trythis. I've been stashing tongues in the freezer for two seasons now its time to use them

[@scottcarlson8502]

Just tried this with a feral boars tongue and it was delicious! Thanks MeatEater!

[@alberttresslevic914]

These are great, more cooking videos please!

[@georgeneckrock7575]

She's a chef nice old carbon steel knife and bench scraper. I tried this earlier this year with an elk tongue I don't think I cooked it long enough. Thanks for the tips 👌👌😊

[@StayRadDontDie11B]

I love tongue. That looks soooo good

[@bobbysweeney5377]

I love these. The shows. Not sure about the tongue yet, but the shows are fantastic!🙏

[@dalanwanbdiska6542]

We keep the taste buds on. Nothing wrong with it. Boiled the heart and tongue into a soup with flour. Bannock and moose tongue and heart soup is the best. Way better than beef. I love it.

[@kylelay6858]

Here bc I just got my cow for the year. Got the tongue, going to use this recipe

[@guntotinhippie7384]

I can’t wait to try this

[@southtexaskayakangler1118]

When we make cow tongue we prep it like were doing cow cheek in barbacoa. Easiest way it to wrap it on foil put it the crock pot for how ever long it takes to cook. And the skin comes rite off. Then season with salt to taste Then dice onions and cilantro throw it in a corn tortilla with some good salsa and enjoy

[@Knoar]

Good vid. Very informative. Even though you know the answers, I appreciate the questions you ask her.

[@johnathannelson6195]

Haven't had it in a grip but my favorite tongue recipe is smoked moose tongue sandwich. I have no idea what my friends dad's process entailed but that was an annual treat at their place, assuming they got a moose of course. I need to call him up and get the recipe. Great Video as always.

[@obsidianbarnowldesigns]

what is your braising liquid was it water or was it some form of stock or broth? if it's latter what would be the best one?

[@astondriver]

Ox tongue is traditional regional delicacy in Sendai Prefecture. Japan

[@vitaly6312]

Lots of Eastern European cultures eat it as well. It’s funny to see Americans freak out when tongue is on the table. It’s really delicious and tender.

[@greenboyatgafarms2250]

Iv done both deer and hog toung and they are so delicious if you know how to cook them. However people do look at you a little strange when you tell them so how do you like that pig tongue or how do you like that deer tongue? I believe I'll probably eat anything that don't eat me first and this is the reason I am hooked on this show great job guys

[@charlockprime]

Slow roasted tongue, cubed and made into tacos is another great recipe.

[@Two2onefive]

Yup..nothing beats a lengua taco.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Excellent! I have 2 moose tongues from this past fall up here in Alaska. Question: Why not pop tongue into a crock pot instead of braising?

[@vitaly6312]

Hello! First off, cool videos and cool dog! We do some training here as well (not for retrieving). I appreciate people who put in time for their dogs! To answer your question, she isn’t necessarily braising, she’s boiling the tongue which serves a few purposes, the first one is getting the outer skin off which is very tough! The second is that it cooks the tongue through. Most people these days will put a secondary cook (like she did sautéing the tongue or searing it) but some people don’t and will just slice it thin like a deli meat for sandwiches or salads or something. The way my family eats it is simply cut thin with some Russian hot mustard or hot horseradish. Preferably served with dark rye bread. I’m assuming you can probably slow cook or but I don’t think there’s a point? I’m not sure that you’ll ever get like a “pulled tongue” texture out of it and it’ll just slow down the process. I have heard of people pressure cooking it for 30 minutes (I assume a moose tongue would be an hour due to its size) to peel and cook it through but haven’t done it yet (doing it for thanksgiving so maybe I’ll backtrack to this video later). It also freezes very well as long as you have vacuum sealed bags. So after you cook the tongue you can slice off a part of it, vac seal it and save it for another time although I probably wouldn’t go past 1 year? Sorry for the novel, but I feel like that’s pertinent information for cooking tongue. On another note, I’d love to hunt moose in AK one day. And caribou. That would be a dream come true.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

@@vitaly6312 Thanks. Retriever training in one of my passions. One advantage of using a crock pot is I can be working outside while the tongue is boiling. I use a crockpot quite a bit for cooking moose chili, moose stew, etc.

[@ZippyLikesZippers]

We always at the tongue skin and all in our family when we got a cow tongue. Texture was never a problem.

[@levimosser747]

My granny taught me how to use tongue, makes great sandwiches, burritos and tamales

Braise it for three hours, or boil it for three hours? I’m confused, can you please clarify.

2 slits underneath the chin front to back towards the neck, one slit up front under the chin and the tongue drops out, then cut at the base.

Tongue is one of the best cuts of meat on an animal in my opinion. Go back to doing a solo cooking gig, no need for a partner. (Unless you're helping out a friend, then kudos) And what's with the Susie Homemaker music in the background? No need to church it up bud.
