3 small pig tongues (Kirk's U Need a Butcher) Can substiute beff tongue (Best StopScott)
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 pound smoked sausage
2 cups chicken, beef, or pork stock

Season tongues, if they've not already been seasoned. Add oil to a heavy pot (Magnalite) over medium-high heat and brown tongues and sausage.

This is the key to a good gravy.

This process may take 10-15 minutes and if it starts to stick too much, slowly add a little water or stock to deglaze. Once thoroughly browned, remove meats and add vegetables.
Saute over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and add back tongues and sausage. Simmer over low heat for 3-4 hours until tender. Serve over rice, potatoes, or grits

3 1/2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten

Mound 3 1/2 cups flour in the center of a large wooden cutting board. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the eggs. Using a fork, beat together the eggs and begin to incorporate the flour, starting with the rim of the wall. As you expand the well, keep pushing the flour up from the base of the mound to retain the well shape. The dough will
come together when half of the flour is incorporated.

Start kneading the dough with both hands, using the palms of your hands. Once you have a cohesive mass, remove the
dough from the board and scrape up and discard any leftover bits. Lightly reflour the board and continue kneading for 6 more minutes. The dough should be elastic and a little sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic (with a little flour) and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Roll out as desired. Make sure dough is floury, so it does not stick to the plastic.
