Turkish Food Recipe ; Dil Söğüş / Boiled Sliced beef (ox) tongue

Wash clean tongue and remove excess fat from the base.

Put the tongue with onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns in a pan and cover with enough hot water.

Put on the lid and cook over medium-high heat, checking periodically after an hour or so.

Using a big fork, check if the tongue is tender and slips off easily; if so, it's done.

Discard the water and let it chill completely.

Once cool enough to handle, gently peel off the tongue skin and trim excess fat.

Slice the beef tongue about 1-2 cm thick and arrange over a serving plate.

Generously sprinkle with dried thyme or oregano and chili pepper flakes.

Serve with salad of sweet onion, green chili pepper, parsley, and tomato.
