Breaded Tongue (Lengua Lampriada)

This recipe may sound "weird" if you've never had this before, but it is really very good. My husband has loved this since he was very young. Try this-it is so delicious, very similar to Mexican Barbacoa.


2 1/2 - 3 pounds beef tongue
10 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bay leaf

Egg Batter:

3 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Boil tongue in water with garlic, salt, and bay leaf until tender (about 2 to 2 1/2 hours). Remove outer skin, and slice 1/4 inch thick.

Make batter by beating egg whites until stiff. Add beaten egg yolks and fold in flour, salt, and pepper.

Dip tongue in batter, fry in hot oil (1/2 inch deep in heavy skillet) until golden brown, turning twice. Drain on absorbent paper and serve with "Red Tomato Sauce"(recipe will be added very soon-bookmark this page and checkback later).
