Beef Tongue In Green Sauce

• 1 beef tongue
• water
• salt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 onion
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 pound tomatillos
• 1 serrano chili
• 1 bunch cilantro fresh coriander
• vegetable oil

1. Wash the tongue and place it in a pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover, salt to taste, 1 clove of garlic, 1 piece of onion, and the bay leaves. Cook for 45 minutes. Pierce the thickest part of the tongue with a skewer to make sure it feels evenly cooked all the way through.
2. Meanwhile, combine the tomatillos, chili, 1 clove garlic, and the rest of the onion in a saucepan. Cook until the tomatillos begin to soften and change color. Remove from the heat.
3. Place the sauteed tomatillos, chili, onion, and garlic in a blender. Add salt to taste, and puree until smooth.
4. Boil a small pot of water, and fill a large bowl with ice water. When the water comes to boil, blanch the cilantro by plunging it into the boiling water for just a two to three seconds. The cilantro will begin to wilt. Then immerse it immediately in the ice water to stop it from cooking further. This will give it a vibrant green color. Add the cilantro to the sauce, and puree again.
5. In a large pot, put 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and add the sauce.
6. Remove the tongue from the steamer and peel off the skin.
7. Slice the meat horizontally or cut it into cubes.
8. Add the meat to the sauce and taste, seasoning as needed.
9. Top the beef tongue with the green sauce and serve with corn tortillas and the toppings of your choice.
