Brodo

By LeeBoruchow

Often in Italy, they make a brodo which is not limited to any one particular meat.

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef scraps
• 2 beef or veal marrow bones
• 1 beef tongue, cut into large pieces
• 4 turkey wings
• 2 chicken legs and thighs
• 1 onion cut in half
• 1 carrot cut in half
• 1 celery stalk cut in half
• cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Combine meat, bones, and vegetables in a large stockpot. Add enough water to cover by an inch and very slowly bring almost to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and gently simmer for 3-4 hours, skimming off the foam and fat as needed.

Strain broth through a sieve, then through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a large pot and allow to cool.
