Tongue should be salted, boiled and peeled in advance. Instructions are here. Once it’s prepared, you can cool it in it’s broth and leave for a couple of days in your fridge. At this point, it will take about 10 minutes to throw together your sandwiches. The broth can always be saved for adding to soup or cooking rice.
Recipe Moderator Notes: We recommend that the tongue be 100% pasture-raised, vegetables organically grown and that the bacon be prepared according to these principles. Read more about the description of this recipe.
