Ingredients per 4 persons

  • Veal tongue
  • 1 Celery stalk
  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 Onion
  • La Giardiniera di Giovanni
  • Fiore di Sale
  • Black Pepper

Procedimento

  • Prepare the fresh tongue: immerse it in a large pot with salt, an onion, a leg of celery, a carrot and a bay leaf, leaving it to cook for about 2 hours.
  • Once cooked, cut the tongue into slices about 1 cm thick, then sear them in a non-stick pan for 1 minute on each side until you get a nice crust.
  • Plate the mille-feuille on the plate, alternating the slices of tongue with La Giardiniera di Giovanni, being careful to put all the elements, including fruit (it will give a special touch to the dish!).
  • Garnish with sprouts or wild radicchio. An aromatic and structured white wine is ideal to accompany this preparation.
