I asked the wife today, what are we going to make for dinner? She said she took out tongues. I said Oh yeah, I had them last night and they were gooood. She didnt get it.
I cook the tongues in the pressure cooker for about 15- 20 mins with some onions, garlic, bay leaf, marjoram, caraway seeds salt pepper and paprika.. After the meat is tender I add the sour cream and a little butter roux to thicken the gravy.
For tacos, same thing. in the pressure cooker with onions, garlic, peppers, cumin seeds, salt and pepper and an avocado leaf.
If no pressure cooker simmer covered for about two hours till the meat is very tender, depending on the size.
What do my inlaws think of my cooking? For the most part they love it. But, when cooking for them I cant use any hot peppers, not even a little. Even a little black pepper and they will be screaming about how spicy it is. Basically my mother in law uses no spices or herbs. They like their food as bland as can be.
Once I made a beautiful shrimp and lobster pasta dish with fresh chopped tomatoes. The kind of dish where the pasta is tossed in with the ingredients and there is not a whole lot of sauce. After cleaning up a little I came to the table to find them dumping ketchup on top of my pasta dish. It was disgusting. When I asked them why they said because their is not enough sauce.
Apparently ketchup on pasta is a common dish in Slovakian. F-in Philistines.
