Creamy Lengua with Corn is so yummy! This is somewhat similar to pastel de lengua, except that I did not cover the dish with pastry dough and prepared it like a pie. Nevertheless, this wonderful dish is very deserving to be tried. I’m sure that you will like it.
How to Cook Creamy Lengua with Corn
Making this delicious dish is not complicated at all. You will be surprised to learn how easy it is to make one.
Before cooking the actual dish, make sure that the ox tongue is prepared properly. It should be very tender and sliced into serving pieces before cooking. Do this by cleaning it thoroughly with water. Pressure cook it along with dried bay leaves and while peppercorn. These ingredients provides flavor and aroma to the protein.
If this is your first time cooking ox tongue, be aware that the outer layer needs to be peeled-off completely. It is easier to perform this task once it cools down after pressure cooking.
Slice the lengua into thin pieces and set aside. You can also prepare this in advance and then keep it in the freezer until needed.
Now that the protein ingredient is ready, start cooking by melting butter in a pan. Add garlic and onions and then saute the sliced ox tongue once the onion softens.
I still want the meat to be very tender and the sauce to be flavorful. For this reason, I add water, a piece of Knorr Beef Cube, and sweet corn kernels and then boil the lengua for 20 minutes.
Condensed cream of mushroom soup and all-purpose cream makes the sauce rich, thick, and creamy. I add these ingredients next and season with salt and pepper.
This is something that you can enjoy with plain white rice. I also love it with mashed potato and garlic bread.
