About the dish

One of several ways Erken suggests using boiled salted beef tongue; "griljering" means breading in rusk crumbs and quick frying.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Slice and bread

    Slice the boiled, skinned, and cold tongue. Dip the slices first in beaten egg, then in crushed rusk crumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry

    Fry the slices quickly in lightly browned butter until golden on both sides.

  3. 3

    Sauté the mushrooms

    Sauté the mushrooms in butter.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the tongue slices on an oval platter, spread the sautéed mushrooms over them, and serve with mushroom sauce or tomato sauce.

Changes from the original

"Kavring" is kept but described as crushed rusks/breading crumbs, the mushroom quantity is estimated, and "egg white/egg" has been standardized to beaten egg.
