Austrian top chef Thomas Hofer from restaurant Genießerhotel Bergergut shared one of his favourite dishes with us so you can recreate it yourself. In this exclusive recipe, he will show you how to cook tender tongues of veal with pasta and basil oil.  The pasta is filled with authentic 40-month old Parmigiano Reggiano, which has really passed the test of time, excellence, and maturation. At this age, the cheese is exceptionally crumbly and grainy, with a strong flavour of spices and nuts, resulting in an exquisite culinary sensation.

Tongue of milk-fed veal

Cut the tongues into pieces. Place them in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface. When the meat is tender, take it out of the water and fry in butter until crispy. Next, mix all the other ingredients in a pan until you have a simmering sauce. Glaze the veal tongues with the sauce.
