Steps

  • Place diced vegetables, parsley stalks, garlic, and bouquet garni into a large saucepan and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil, add the ox tongue, and simmer for 4 hours until the meat is tender.
  • Remove the tongue, discard skin and fat, chill for 30 minutes, then cut into cubes.
  • Fry the tongue cubes in a hot pan until golden-brown and crisp.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan and fry sliced onions for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add leeks and fry for 3 minutes, then stir in potatoes and 1 liter of water.
  • Boil for 15 minutes until potatoes are tender, then blend until smooth and season.
  • Fry the remaining leeks in butter until soft and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve in bowls by layering fried leeks, boiled potato, a poached egg, soup, and crispy tongue.
