hi..i love lengua! But my mom usually makes it with white mushroom sauce! U can make the sauce from scratch or uou can just buy it straight from the can.i just recently made my own version lengua.the same preparation but i diced the lengua w/ my white mushroom sauce.arranged it in a pyrex,then topped w/ canned corn kernels and also topped with mashed potatoes and some grated mozzarella cheese on top.and baked it! It was so yummy! Very sinful but perfect!=)

Here’s my white mushroom sauce from scratch:

Butter
Flour
Canned mushroom
Heavy cream
Bouillon cube
Water
Salt and pepper to tatse

Make a roux: melt butter and add flour.miss well until smooth.add mushroom,heavy cream,bouillon and water.mix well.until it thickens.salt and pepper to taste!

Enjoy!!

i had never made a beef tongue before. I am mostly a vegetarian, not cuz i love to save the animals but cuz i hate to work with raw meat and i absolutely love the fresh colorful fruits and vegetables anyday over a chunk of meat. Have to say I hated the cleaning process of the beef tongue… the smell and the texture made me sick to my stomach!

BUT…. The person whom I cooked this recipe for ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! that person is my husband…and i am ever so thankful to you for this wonderful recipe…it smelled great once it was cooked but after having cleaned it and seeing it what it looked like raw…i just could not get myself to taste it…

this recipe is a hit in my home and my husband will ask me to prepare the beef tongue now when ever he wants to feed something special to his friends when they come to visit us… they all love it too.

i rate it 5 star! thank you so much for posting this recipe.

Here’s my mushroom sauce recipe.

Simmer the tongue for an hour. Remove tongue and cool. Discard the water.

Peel off the tough layer. Slice to desired thickness. Season lightly with Kosher salt. Return to pot.

Add:
1 can Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
1 can water
1 stick salted butter
1 whole head garlic, crushed, peeled

Stir the cream of mushroom and water. Simmer 45 min-1 hr. Check frequently to prevent scorching. Add a little water if sauce thickens and meat is not tender enough.

When done, add a jar of drained, button mushrooms.

Melt in your mouth goodness!

Lalaine, me too! I know, even with a pressure cooker, the whole process from preparing it to getting it on the table takes a long time. I only make it as a “treat” — definitely not a regular weekday fare. :)

Hi Tiffany, I think you can. I have never tried it, personally. I will ask my brother for his mushroom gravy recipe. He just made it a couple of weeks back.
