beef tongue with mushroom zucchini Alfredo sauce

2020-10-14

I already had the beef tongue pressure-cooked a few days ago. I only needed to prepare the sauce and fries.

A. Alfredo sauce with mushrooms & zucchinis

This is a very nice sauce, if I may say so myself. With equal amounts of mushrooms and zucchinis, the mushroom flavor dominates. If you want to give the zucchinis more prominence, double their amount.

This sauce is very easy to prepare: stew mushrooms and zucchinis together, add Alfredo sauce.
I used a jar of store-bought Alfredo. Feel free to make it from scratch.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

1 lb. white button mushrooms
1 lb. zucchinis
2-3 cups Alfredo sauce
S&P, spices of your choice

Pic2: mushrooms ...
Pic3: ... with zucchinis ...
Pic4: ... and Alfredo sauce

Stew the sliced mushrooms for 10-15 minutes until nearly dry.
Add the cut-up zucchinis.
Stew 2-5 minutes.
If you like the zucchinis softer, stew longer to desired doneness.
Prepare and add the sauce, Alfredo or béchamel.
If making it from scratch, use beef tongue broth to make the sauce for a stronger beef flavor.
Warm through over medium heat while stirring occasionally.
Do not boil if you used cream. It will break the sauce.

b. jicama fries

A delicious little snack that can also be served as a side dish with a meal.

If you fry them until they are dark brown instead of mottled as shown, they will be sweeter.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 servings:

1 medium jicama

Peel and fry-cut the jicama. Discard any damaged parts.
Deep-fry until dark brown for the sweetest outcome.

I had cooked the beef tongue a few days earlier and refrigerated it as a chunk. It is amazing how much easier it is to slice thinly and evenly when cold. If I tried this while hot, I would just have torn it up.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2-4 servings:

1-2 lbs. beef tongue, cooked, refrigerated
sauce as above
jicama fries as above

Serve with the other items as described above for a deliciously satisfying meal.
