Beef Tongue Cuban Style -- Lengua De Res Estilo Cubano image

Before you say "ick" to tongue, ask yourself if you like brisket or corned beef. If your answer is yes, then you'll love the very pleasant, beefy flavor of tongue. This recipe combines an interesting melange of piquant flavors from the peppers and cumin combined with a touch of sour from the olives to make this a neat, comfort-food.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my beef tongue turned out tough and chewy. The sauce was also a bit too spicy for my taste.
