    For the sauce, fry the onion in the butter over low heat until soft. Add sultanas and cream, and reduce, about 5 minutes.

    Purée the sauce. Add wholegrain mustard and rosemary, and reheat.

    Finely chop the cooked tongue. Add 60ml (¼ cup) of sauce to the tongue and mix.

    Roll the pasta into thin sheets. Make pasta parcels with 5ml (1 tsp) of tongue mixture in each. Cook pasta in boiling water for about 3 minutes.
