MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Lambs' Tongues Piquant Categories: Lamb/mutton, Offal, Herbs, Vegetables, Nuts Yield: 2 Servings 4 sm Lambs tongues +=OR=+ 2 md (or lg) lambs tongues 1 md Onion; peeled, trimmed 1 lg Carrot; scrubbed, trimmed 1 Turkish bay leaf 6 Allspice berries 6 Black peppercorns Salt 2 tb Olive oil 1 lg Onion; peeled, sliced fine 2 tb Flour 1 c Cooking liquid; from tongue 2 tb Red wine vinegar 2 ts Demerara sugar; or lt brown - sugar, or Turbinado sugar 1 tb Sultanas (white raisins) Fresh lemon juice Fresh ground black pepper 2 ts Flaked almonds; toasted To prepare and cook the lambs' tongues: soak the tongues for several hours then place in fresh cold water and bring to the boil. Drain immediately. Heat enough water to cover tongues with the onion, carrot, bay leaf, allspice berries and peppercorns and a little salt. When at boiling point add the parboiled tongues, lower the heat to simmering point and cook very gently until really tender, about 1 hour. If using the tongues immediately, skin and pick out the little bones and gristle. If using later, they can cool in the liquid, but remove the skin and bones whilst warm, it will be easier than when they are cold. For piquant sauce: heat the oil, add the sliced onion and cook gently until soft and golden. Stir in the flour, cook for a moment or two, then make a lump-free sauce by gradually stirring in the tongue stock. In a separate pan, heat the vinegar with the sugar then, stirring constantly, allow it to boil until the mixture is syrupy. Add to the sauce, stirring in well. Add the sultanas, season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. The sauce should be nicely piquant. To serve, slit each lamb's tongue in half lengthways, place in a warm dish and pour over the sauce. If the tongues are not already hot, cover the dish with foil or a lid and warm through in a preheated oven at 360ºF/180ºC for 25 minutes. Before serving, garnish with the toasted almonds. VARIATIONS == Prepare a mushroom and onion sauce with 1 large onion, finely chopped, cooked gently in 2 tablespoons of butter, then add 3 cups of sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms are tender. Add 2 tablespoons of sweet vermouth and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour over the tongues sliced lengthways, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and reheat in a preheated oven at 360ºF/180ºC for 25 minutes. PRESSURE COOKER == Use to cook the tongues. Prepare and parboil as above. Place with liquid and flavourings in cooker, bring to HIGH pressure and cook 15 minutes, then remove from the heat. Continue recipe as above. MICROWAVE OVEN == Cooking the tongues in the microwave is not recommended, but the onions can be microwaved, with oil or butter [melt it first], covered, for 4 minutes on HIGH. If making the piquant sauce in the microwave, substitute cornflour for the flour in the recipe. LAMBS' TONGUES PIQUANT can be successfully reheated in the microwave; cover it tightly with plastic cling and nuke it on REHEAT or 80% for 12 minutes or until bubbling hot. ACCOMPANIMENTS ==- Creamed potatoes or pasta with a side salad or a simple, crisp vegetable, such as beans or mange tout. from JUST FOR TWO by JANET LAURENCE typed by KEVIN JCJD SYMONS From: Kevin Jcjd Symons - 20 Feb 99 Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
