Lengua Con Setas or Ox Tongue with mushroom is a delicious stew that everyone can enjoy. Ox tongue is a delicacy that should not be looked down by those who don’t like the idea. In fact, the tongue is one of the tastiest parts of the cow.

Making Lengua Con Setas takes time and patience. The recipe is not complicated, but the process of making the meat tender and removal of skin can be challenging to newbies. I am saying this not to discourage you, but rather to set expectations. I think that it is better to expect something challenging to happen and be prepared for it, rather than panic and lose interest.

Once the Ox tongue is tender and skin is peeled off, the remaining steps are like a walk in the park. All you will do is sauté, simmer, stir, and serve. Once you perfect this recipe, I’m sure that you can conquer recipes that are intended for non-beginners.
