5 pounds fresh tongue
Plunge the tongue into boiling water and cook 10 minutes. Drain and remove the skin and root.
Place the tongue in a roasting pan with the onions around it. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the bay leaf, tomato sauce, tomatoes, and water.
Cover the pan and roast in a 325°F oven for 3 hours or until the tongue is tender. Baste frequently and remove the cover for the last 30 minutes.

Here's Jennie Grossinger's recipe. I grew up in the Catskills and ate at Grossinger's many times. This is a good recipe. The only thing I change when making this recipe is to use 3 or 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced, instead of the garlic powder.
