To prepare this delicious tongue, you will need:

Ingredients:

• 1 beef tongue
• 1 carrot
• 2 onions
• Dill and parsley to taste
• 2 bay leaves
• Peppercorns to taste
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon gelatin

Preparation:

1. Prepare the tongue:
   • Cut off the leftover part of the beef tongue so it’s ready to cook.
   • Soak your tongue in water for 10-15 minutes to clean away any impurities.
2. Cooking the tongue:
   • Place the tongue in a pot of boiling water and let cook for 15 minutes. This will help soften it a bit and make the next step easier.
   • Meanwhile, cut the carrot as shown in the video (into slices or sticks, as you prefer).
   • Coarsely chop the onions.
3. Add ingredients and cook:
   • After the initial 15 minutes, add the carrot, onions, dill, parsley, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt to taste to the pot.
   • Let everything cook together for another 30 minutes so that the flavors integrate well and the tongue cooks completely.
4. Cooling and removing skin:
   • After 30 minutes of cooking, remove the tongue from the pot and place it in cold water. This will help the skin peel off more easily.
   • Once cool, carefully remove the skin from the tongue. It should come out without difficulty, revealing the tender and soft meat.
5. Prepare the broth with gelatin:
   • Remove the vegetables from the broth left in the pot.
   • Take some of this broth and mix it with a tablespoon of gelatin. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
   • This mixture will help give a nice texture to the final dish.
