How to cook lengua stofada:

• To clean tongue, dip in 3 cups boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes, then scrape white, thick skin. Then wash in clear water.
• Place in deep pan, pour water enough to cover tongue. Boil. Lower heat and simmer until half done.
• Saute onion and pork fat (in big slices) in butter. When onion is wilted, add all ingredients except bread crumbs.
• Stir for 3 minutes, then add to the deep pan where you boil the ox tongue. Continue cooking until the tongue becomes tender.
• You may add more water if sauce dries and meat is not yet done.
• Let it cool. Cut tongue into thin slices. Arrange in serving plate. Thicken sauce with bread crumbs then pour over sliced tongue.
