Lengua (Ox Tongue) in Garlic and Butter

munchkinmommy | December 16, 2009

Is that “Eeeeeeew!” and “No, thank you!” I hear from the uninitiated?  Lengua is not for the faint of heart…or tummy for that matter.  It is a dish I’ve loved since I was a little girl.  My late Nanay (maternal grandma) made the best Lengua Estofado (Ox Tongue with Fresh Tomato Sauce and Potatoes), if [...]
