Preparation time:
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 2 hours
- Total: 2 hours and 15 minutes
- Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 4 pieces of pork tongue (approximately 1.2 kg)
- 100 g champignon mushrooms
- 1 carrot
- 1 parsley root
- 1 medium onion
- 50 g celery
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 1 lemon
- 1 raw egg
- 2 bell peppers (one red and one yellow)
- A few leaves of green salad
- 100 ml sour cream (or yogurt)
- 50 g black olives
- 1-2 teaspoons of mustard
- 20 ml vinegar
- 5 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 mushroom stock cube (optional)

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the tongue: Start by thoroughly washing the pork tongue. Place it in a container with cold water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. This will help clean it. After this time, rinse the tongue under cold running water.

2. Boiling the tongue: Place the tongue in a large pot, add 4 liters of cold water and a little salt. Put the pot on low heat and let it boil. When the water starts to boil, remove the foam that forms on the surface. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 1 hour and a half. If you have a pressure cooker, you can use that to shorten the cooking time.

3. Adding the vegetables: When the tongue is almost tender, add the whole vegetables (carrot, parsley root, onion, and celery), as well as the mushroom stock cube (if you choose to use it). Continue boiling for 30 minutes.

4. Preparing the tongue: Check if the tongue is very tender. Remove the tongue from the boiling liquid and place it on a plate. Peel the skin off the tongue and slice it thinly. If desired, you can keep a piece of tongue to use in soup.

5. Preparing the sauce: For the delicious sauce, whisk an egg yolk with mustard, olive oil, and vinegar. Mix quickly with a whisk to achieve a fine emulsion. Add salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream (or yogurt) for extra creaminess.

6. Preparing the mushrooms: In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and sauté the cleaned and sliced mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for a few minutes until they turn slightly golden.

7. Assembling the dish: On a large platter, arrange the slices of tongue. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, then pour over the prepared sauce. Garnish with green salad leaves, lemon slices, thinly sliced red and yellow peppers, boiled carrots, black olives, and a handful of fresh parsley.

My tip: If you want a spicy note, you can also add some chopped hot pepper to your sauce. This will add depth and extra flavor to the entire dish.

Nutritional benefits: Pork tongue is an excellent source of protein and contains vitamin B12, essential for the optimal functioning of the nervous system. Mushrooms add fiber and antioxidants, contributing to a balanced and healthy meal.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of meat? Of course! You can replace pork tongue with beef or chicken, keeping in mind that the cooking time will vary.
- How should I store the dish? The dish can be kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and the flavor will become even more intense as it cools.
- What should this dish be served with? Spicy sauce tongue with mushrooms pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or a side of steamed vegetables. You can also accompany the meal with a dry white wine that will complement the flavors of the dish.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, to add a unique flavor. Additionally, you can add an Asian twist by using soy sauce instead of salt and vinegar.
