Instructions
- Place Beef Tongue in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until very tender.
- While the tongue is simmering, prepare the Brine by combining all Brine ingredients in a separate pot. Bring to a boil, then cool completely.
- Once the tongue is cooked, peel off the skin while it is still warm. This is easier to do while warm.
- Place the peeled tongue in the cooled Brine and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- To make the Spread, combine all Spread ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- Slice the brined tongue thinly.
- Spread both slices of Bread with the Spread. Layer with sliced tongue, Onion, and Lettuce. Serve immediately.
