Broths and Soups
Ingredients
Directions
Heat water without boiling for 30 minutes to tenderize the meat and remove scum.
After 30 minutes, bring the pot to a boil and continue to remove scum.
Once no more scum appears, add vegetables and a little coarse sea salt.
Cover the pot tightly and place it at a distance from the fire to simmer gently for 3 to 6 hours.
Prepare the broth the evening before serving for easier fat removal.
When decanting, avoid disturbing the fine particles at the bottom.
