1
Place the tongue in a medium saucepan and add water - add enough to cover. Add the white onion, carrot, celery, bay leaves, clove, salt and black peppercorns.

Peel and discard the tongue's skin. Cut the meat into 3- by 1/2-inch julienne strips.

Add the tomatoes and jalapenos and saute 2 minutes longer. Then add the tongue and reserved stock. Simmer 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the oregano, and remove from the heat. Serve over white rice.
