Ají de lengua

Ají de lengua is a traditional stew with a spicy flavor. It is made with beef tongue, oil, onions, tomatoes, hot chili peppers, parsley, cumin, oregano, and (often) green peas. The tongue is boiled, cut into thin slices, and it is then cooked with the rest of the ingredients. This hearty stew is traditionally served with chuño potatoes and steamed rice on the side.
