Directions

1. Cook the beef tongue according to package instructions to heat it.

2. When the tongue is ready, prepare the sauce by heating the meat gravy and sprigs of thyme together.

3. Arrange the beef tongue slices on a plate. Drizzle the warm sauce over the beef tongue and serve with the duck fat doilies and dollops of wholegrain mustard.

4. Serve the sweet mustard sauce on the side.

5. To make the duck fat doilies, heat the oven to 160°C.

6. Place the egg whites into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk until medium peaks form. Gradually add the castor sugar and whisk well after each addition.

7. Pour the melted duck fat (warm) into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Then using a metal spoon, fold in the flour and chicken spice.

8. Spread the mixture evenly and thinly onto a patterned silicone mat. Place in the oven and bake for 4 minutes. Take out and leave for a couple of seconds before removing the tuille from the silicone mat.
