Lamb Tongue

Our lamb tongue is frozen and vacuum-sealed to maintain freshness. For best use, store in the freezer for up to 1 year, or in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

You can slow thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Or quick thaw in a bowl of cold water, changing the water every 20-30 minutes until thawed.

Lamb tongue pairs well with sharp and bright flavors, like vinegars, mustards, pickles, and spices such as cumin, Sichuan peppercorns, curry powder, paprika, thyme, mint, and herbs like rosemary.

Lamb tongue is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various dishes, such as sandwiches, tacos, soups, stews, and even charcuterie plates.
