For the presentation Remove the skin from the tongue, slice it finely with the slicer and mix it in a bowl with a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the slices of tongue on a plate, alternating then with two slices of ciauscolo. Complete with the giardiniera, the orange powder, the mustard ice-cream, the flowers and the herbs.
