Boiling Meat
Ingredients
Directions
Choose a pot large enough for the meat to move freely.
Place a plate upside-down in the pot to prevent sticking.
Add cold soft water to the pot, enough to cover the meat.
Add a little coarse sea salt to raise the scum.
Heat the water slowly; do not let it boil too quickly.
Remove the scum just before boiling and for a few minutes after.
