Serves/Makes: 8 | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
3 1/2 pounds smoked beef tongue
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can (28 ounce size) Italian-style tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped celery (including tops)
1 medium carrot, shredded
8 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 teaspoons dry basil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1 teaspoon oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dill weed
Directions:
Place tongue in a 5-quart kettle or Dutch oven. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, then cover and simmer for about 3 hours or until tongue is very tender when pierced. Cool in broth, then lift out tongue and set aside.
Taste liquid, and if not too salty, reserve 1 cup; if too salty, discard all liquid. Remove and discard skin and tubes from tongue. Cut tongue into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
In a 3-quart pan over medium heat, melt butter. Blend in flour and cook, stirring, until bubbly. Gradually add reserved broth (or 1 cup water) and continue cooking and stirring until sauce boils and thickens.
Add tomatoes (break up with a spoon) and their liquid, parsley, onion, green pepper, celery, carrot, garlic, basil, Worcestershire, ketchup, sherry, pepper, caraway, thyme, oregano, and dill. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Arrange sliced tongue in a shallow 3-quart casserole or 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Spoon sauce over slices.
Bake, uncovered, in a 300 degrees F oven for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring several times, or until sauce is thickened.
Arrange tongue slices on a warm platter. Spoon some of the sauce over tongue. Pour remaining sauce in a bowl to pass at the table.
