Lamb Tongue

Lamb Tongue – $8/lb

The chef’s-table delicacy… buttery, tender, melt-in-your-mouth — and one of the most slept-on cuts in the whole animal.

Hand-trimmed lamb tongue — a traditional delicacy in Mediterranean, Mexican, and Middle Eastern kitchens for good reason. When poached low & slow, the meat becomes impossibly tender with a rich, buttery flavor that’s somewhere between a great pot roast and the best brisket you’ve ever had. Trust us — try it once and you’ll get it.

Perfect for:

• Lengua tacos with cilantro & salsa verde 😋
• Sliced cold for sandwiches & charcuterie boards
• Mediterranean tongue salads with capers & herbs
• French-style braised with red wine & vegetables
• Pâté & spreads

What Makes It Different:

• One of the most tender cuts on the entire animal when cooked right
• Rich, buttery flavor — way milder than people expect
• Traditional cut beloved in cuisines worldwide
• Whole-animal philosophy — honoring every part

Why Hooser:

• Hand-trimmed and vacuum sealed
• No fillers, no additives, no shortcuts
• Locally sourced quality lamb
• Whole-animal butchery — nothing wasted

Cooking Tip:
Simmer in salted water with bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, and an onion for 2.5–3 hours until fork-tender. While still warm, peel off the outer skin (it slips right off). Slice thin against the grain. For tacos: chop, sear in tallow until crispy edges form, serve in warm corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and salsa verde. Game changer.
