1. 1

   Put the tongue in a stock pot.

2. 2

   Toss in 2 quartered onions, peppercorns, dried crushed bay leaves, garlic, and salt.

3. 3

   Add water until the tongue is covered by 2-3 inches and crank on the heat.

4. 4

   By crank I mean bring to a boil and then lower the heat a bit and allow to simmer for about 3 1/2 hours if you are cooking a 3 pound tongue like I did.

5. 5

   The tongue should turn white and float when done.

6. 6

   Remove tongue from the water and carefully cut off the rubbery white skin (check out the related blog post for visual) and discard.

7. 7

   Serve as desired.

8. 8

   I used mine on tacos!
