Ezik contre Maslo

Ezik v maslo is a traditional dish that is made with slices of tongue fried in butter. The dish is typically made with beef tongue, but it can also be made with pork tongue. The tongue is first cooked in salted water with bay leaves and black pepper and then cut into thin slices which are pan-fried in butter. Alternatively, the sliced tongue can be dredged in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs before being fried. The fried slices of tongue are typically served hot as a meze dish that is usually garnished with finely chopped parsley (or parsley and garlic) on top. The dish pairs well with a glass of wine or a cold beer.
