Step 2: The Recipe

Ingredients:

  • The Tongue: Prepared and sliced as mentioned above.
  • Aromatics: 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 small finely chopped onion.
  • Herbs: A large handful of chopped fresh parsley and cilantro.
  • Spices: 1 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Black pepper, 1.5 tsp Cumin, 1.5 tsp Paprika, and 1/2 tsp Turmeric.
  • Liquid: 1/2 cup Olive oil and water for simmering.
  • Finishing touches: Green olives and preserved lemon (Hamed M’sayyar).

Instructions:

  1. Sauté: In a pressure cooker or heavy pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic, onion, and sliced tongue for a few minutes.
  2. Season: Add all the spices and the chopped herbs. Stir well so the meat is coated.
  3. Simmer: Add enough water to almost cover the meat.
  4. Cook: Close the pressure cooker and cook for 45–60 minutes on medium heat. The meat is done when it is “butter-soft” and easy to cut with a fork.
  5. Reduce: Open the lid and add the olives and preserved lemon. Let the sauce simmer uncovered until it becomes thick and “oil-based” (Ghamira).

  • Texture: If you don’t have a pressure cooker, a regular pot will take about 2 to 3 hours to get the meat tender.
  • Serving: This is best served hot with crusty bread (Khobz) to scoop up the rich sauce.
