Spicy with a milky creaminess, this robust stew came out of a craving for Indian food and a bunch of fresh organic produce from a local farm. A perfect meal for a cold winter night.

Can be made with any kind of meat – but we bought lamb center steaks and cubed them up and it was really good. Could also skip the meat altogether for a hearty vegetarian stew.

How to Make Pastrami Beef Tongue

(10:03)

Video from CHOW-TO

Offal is having a big moment in the food world, which prompted Guillermo (a self proclaimed offal lover) to visit chef Jeremy Salamon (one of NYC's youngest LGBTQ rising star chefs) at The Eddy, right on time to celebrate Pride month. Jeremy's critically-appraised, mostly Hungarian menu, was inspired by his grandmother’s recipes. Offal is a staple of Eastern European cuisines, so it made sense to make delicious pastrami beef tongue. Let's tongue for Pride! PS: The Eddy will be closing it's doors this Monday 6/17 after dinner service - New Yorkers: the restaurant will be offering all guests a 25% discount on their check (no minimums, no maximums, no questions asked).
