    Brine for 5 days.

  • Jardimc on July 05, 2022

    I brined the tongue as instructed for 5 days and then cooked it in the Instant Pot for 50 minutes on high, with natural release. The skin was easy to remove, and the tongue tender and flavourful. To be honest, I’m not sure 5 days of brining made a significant difference - I think simply cooking the tongue in the Instant Pot with the brine would achieve the same result, so no need for forward planning. If making sandwiches, the suggested tarragon sauce is delightful. For serving the tongue on a salad, I would reduce the vinegar from 3.5 TBSP to 2.5 TBSP, so it’s not overpoweringly sharp.
