A cooking question: cow tongue

Ill be nice and throw a good recipe out there for some Chaudin. We cook this alot at my house when we are harvesting. I know some of yall will think its gross but this stuff will make you want to kick your momma square in the mouth for not cooking it for you. We usually get ours stuffed with ground meat and andouille

Cajun Stuffed Chaudin
PREP TIME: 1-1/2 Hours
SERVES: 6



INGREDIENTS:

* 1 medium size chaudin (pork stomach)
* 2 quarts cold water
* 4 tbsps soda
* 1/2 cup vinegar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 cup chopped onions
* 1/2 cup chopped celery
* 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
* 1/4 cup diced garlic
* 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
* 1/2 cup ground andouille sausage
* 1/2 pound ground beef
* 3 pounds ground pork
* 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup chopped green onions
* 1/2 cup chopped parsley
* Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 2 small sliced onions
* 1 cup diced celery
* 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
* 1/4 cup diced garlic
* 2 cups sliced mushrooms
* 3 cups chicken stock
* Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

METHOD:
Have your butcher clean one chaudin properly for you. Place chaudin in a large bowl with water, soda and vinegar. Allow to set for 1 hour. In a heavy-bottomed sauté pan, heat butter over medium high heat. Add onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, mushrooms and andouille and sauté 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add ground beef and pork. Continue to cook until meat is well browned and separated, about 45 minutes. Once browned, add bread crumbs, eggs, green onions and parsley. Cook an additional 3 minutes and season to taste using salt and cracked black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove chaudin from soda water and rinse under tap 2 to 3 times. Using a large metal spoon, stuff chaudin with ground meat dressing until completely full. Secure open ends with toothpicks and heavy gauge twine. In a heavy-bottomed dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat. Sauté onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, carrots and mushrooms approximately 2 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add chaudin and brown well on all sides. Add chicken stock, bring to a low boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cover dutch oven and allow chaudin to cook approximately 1 hour turning occasionally. Season to taste using salt and cayenne pepper. Once cooked, slice into 1/2-inch slices and serve with natural sauce.

Maybe you should start cookin cajun food down there, and introduce the folks of Venezuela to it.

I'm bout to die for some crawdad's. Haven't had any in months...........

Crawfish. :wink: And within a month or two they should be showing up in good numbers at the local restaurants. I sure do miss eating boiled crawfish.

As for introducing cajun food to the locals, they're not much on spicey foods here.

I could sure eat a link of hot boudin from The Best Stop about now. It's been a long long time. :?

Hate to do this to you, but i stopped there on the way home from the marsh today to pick up some boudin for dinner tonight. :D

I hate you.






:P
 
My son loves pickled tongue. He got that from my FIL.

You boil the tongue for about 2 hours.
Peel and slice thin. Cover with white vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Let stand in the fridge for 2 days.
Not too bad.

Now you're just being mean. :D

When buying boudin at Best Stop, I usually can't help myself, I also buy some heart-attack-in-a-bag (cracklins) too. Sometimes they're almost too crispy, but boy, I love 'em.

Last time I was in town I saw a new place opening up on the I-10 frontage road next to the Harley Shop. Don't recall the name, and never had a chance to stop. Have you tried their boudin or other meat products?

I recall bringing a box of Best Stop boudin with me on my last deer hunting trip up to Manitoba. The outfitters loved it. They had another group coming in from Lake Charles so they phoned the guys and asked that they bring more boudin. Only problem was, it was made in Lake Charles.

Did they ever learn that not all boudin is created equal. :lol:

I had to mess with you about it. the name of that place is Dons Specialty meats. Boudin is pretty good, crcklins are the best ive found around here. Its about 2 miles from my work so i go there every now and then.

Yeah Ive never found a place that had the same tasting boudin as one down the road.
 
WW my husbands mom used to prepare pigs tongue that way, he said it was really good, but they also ate croquettes that were made from lips and udders..YUK..

They hardly ever ate beef it was too expensive, so they sold all the beef they raised and ate a couple of homegrown hogs instead. He is from the Netherlands.

I ate cows tongue as a kid, mom did the same as most have said boil, peel and slice thin and use as sandwich meat, it was really good cold. I still have Voodoos tongue in the freezer that I have to do up and yes that tongue has kissed me many many times he was the sweetest steer ever. A shame to eat such a gentle giant.. :(
 
We also usually pickle in brine, boil and skin, then place several in a meat press with some of the liquid from the boiled tongue, and let it set in a cool place. The resulting 'loaf' is used as a cold meat with salad or sliced thin for sandwitches, we make brawn from pig heads and trotters.
