Grilled pig's tails give you crispy skin and tender meat that's marbled with just a trace amount of fat. What more could you ask for in a pig part?
Sous Vide Tacos de Lengua
Not only does cooking a tongue sous-vide make for complete set-it-and-forget-it ease (as it does with any braised or confit dish), it also creates a more flavorful finished product as the tongue slowly stews in its own juices.
Duck Tongue
Duck tongues? Wait, ducks have tongues? Yes, and the organ is actually a fatty delicacy. Barely two inches long, the tongue is small and flimsy but tastes intensely ducklike. When freshly fried, duck tongues are as addictive as potato chips.
Pickled Tongue
Squeamishness aside, the tongue is such an appealing cut: tender and fatty, and delicate in taste (unlike kidneys or liver, for instance, which have a more distinctive flavor). I enjoy tongue sandwiches. Like corned beef or pastrami, the thin slices of tongue are so rich and satisfying that it's perfect between two slices of rye bread. All it needs is some horseradish and mustard, and maybe a dill pickle.
Confit of Pork Tongue with Warm Lentil Salad
If beef tongue is something of a monstrosity, then pork tongue is the smaller, subtler of the two. Even so, at five or more inches in length, the tongue of a pig is not to be sneezed.
Cemitas de Lengua (Mexican Tongue Sandwiches)
A Mexican beef tongue sandwich with black beans, avocado, and crema.
Tangerine Beef
Tangerine beef is a dish with big flavors. By now, you've probably seen it in many Chinese restaurants, with different variations, but this tangerine beef is based on a dish I tried for the very first time.
Barbecue Smoked Beef Chuck
Beef chuck lends itself very well to classic Texas-style barbecue. A salt and pepper rub, some slow smoking, and a wrap in aluminum foil give you moist and tender results.

Crispy Grilled Beef Tongue

Tongue is a stress-free option for the grill. You simmer the tongue in water or stock, adding aromatics and spices. Because tongue is so fatty, you don't have to worry about it getting tough or dry.
