Traditional pressed Ox Tongue recipe | How to prepare Ox Tongue from scratch. 

This week I'm preparing some beautiful ox tongue, I take you through the whole process from start to finish whish can only take a few days. Enjoy!
Ingredients-
➤ 1 ox tongue
➤ 500g salt
➤ Good pinch of chilli flakes
➤ Couple of cloves
➤ 2 bay leaves
➤ 2 litres of water
Equipment needed-
➤ Food safe container
➤ Terrine plus some heavy weights
Recipe-
1. Make your brine by combining all of the ingredients except the ox tongue, put this on the stove and bring to a light simmer. Whilst that is happening prepare your ox tongue, take it out of packaging and give a good rinse. Now place in a food safe container and pour the cooled curing liquid on top of the ox tongue, including the flavourings you have added.
2. Let this sit in your fridge for 1 day per kilo, my ox tongue was just under a kilo so I removed it after 1 day. Now rinse the ox tongue and rinse with cold water, put into a saucepan and gently simmer for 3-5 hours. Once done remove the ox tongue and peel, or in my case use a sharp knife to remove the coarse skin. Now put in a terrine/dish with a small board on top and use some heavy weights to weigh down. Let this sit in your fridge for at least 24 hours and when ready to serve slices of nice and thinley. Serve with mustard and pickles.
