Lengua a la Vinagreta

Lengua a la Vinagreta — tender beef prepared in traditional Filipino style with local seasonings. A hearty and satisfying main dish.

Prep: 30 min Cook: 60 min

Ingredients

  • 1 large b ox tongue (cleaned)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 small onion (minced)
  • 1 tbsp parsley (minced)
  • 1.5 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp red bell pepper (minced)
  • 1.25 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 piece eggs (hardboiled and chopped)
  • 8 cup water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat over a cooking pot then pour-in water and let boil.

  2. Put-in the ox tongue and 3 tablespoons of salt then simmer until tender (usually about an hour).

  3. Remove the tongue from the cooking pot and let cool. Scrape the skin-off using a paring knife and thinly slice the tongue. Set aside.

  4. Make the marinade by combining garlic, onion, parsley, bell pepper, olive oil, white whine vinegar, eggs, salt, and pepper.

  5. Place the sliced tongue in a mixing bowl then mix-in the marinade.

  6. Refrigerate overnight.

  7. Move to to a serving plate with or without the marinade (I prefer serving the tongue without the marinade, but it’s your choice).

  8. Serve cold as an appetizer.
