Kokt oksetunge var festmat og hverdagsluksus fra husslaktingen. Her serveres den fersk (usaltet) i en lys, syrlig saus med sylteagurk, persille og sitron. Grønnsakene og krydderet gir tungekraften smak som sausen bygges på.
Boil the tongue
Wash the tongue well. Put it in boiling, salted water together with the cleaned vegetables, bay leaf and peppercorns. Boil until the tongue is tender.
Skin and slice
Take out the tongue, peel off the outer skin while it is hot, and cut it into slices.
Make the sauce
Melt the butter, stir in the flour and thin with 3/4 liter of the strained tongue stock. Let the sauce simmer gently for 1/4 hour.
Finish
Stir in chopped parsley, chopped pickled cucumber and the tongue slices. Bring to a boil, add the juice of 1/4 lemon and season with salt.
Mengder beholdt. «1/4 citron» tolkes som saften av en kvart sitron. Sur agurk er modernisert til sylteagurk. Koketiden er ikke oppgitt i originalen; oksetunge trenger gjerne 2–3 timer.
