Storage suggestions and accompaniments
- Storage: Once cool, you can store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat: You can heat them in a skillet or use the microwave.
- Tomato puree: You can replace it with tomato paste (1 tablespoon). Or, if you prefer, you can use tomato sauce with some flavor (¼ cup). And you follow the steps just like the recipe.
- Beef tongue broth: If you don't have it, you can use whatever broth you have on hand or water. Any of the above options will work fine. You can reduce the amount of salt if you use cube broth.
- If you like, you can also add mushrooms, either fresh or canned. If they are fresh, sauté them together with the onions. If they are canned, drain them and add them along with the potatoes and carrots.
- If you prefer a low carb option or even a keto option, you can remove the potatoes and leave the carrots.
