Bollito Misto (Italian Mixed Boiled Meats)

Ingredients

6 quarts water

1 large yellow onion, root end trimmed

1 medium celery stalk

1 medium carrot

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 (1 1/2-pound) flat-cut beef brisket or veal breast, trimmed

1 pound bone-in beef short ribs

1 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) half chicken

1 (about 1 1/2-pound) cotechino (Italian pork garlic sausage), pricked all over using tip of a paring knife

Caper-Cornichon Salsa Verde

Potato-Parmesan Puree

Mixed pickled vegetables, for serving

Directions

Combine 6 quarts water, onion, celery, carrot, and salt in a very large 12- to 16-quart stockpot; bring to a boil over high. Add brisket and short ribs; return to a boil over high, skimming off any foam and fat that rise to the surface. Reduce heat to medium-high; gently simmer, skimming occasionally, 1 hour and 30 minutes. Add chicken; cook, skimming occasionally, until brisket and short ribs are very tender when pierced with a paring knife and chicken easily pulls away from the bone, 30 minutes to 1 hour. If any piece of meat finishes cooking before others, transfer meat to a heatproof bowl, and spoon some of the braising liquid over top to moisten; cover with plastic wrap.

Meanwhile, place cotechino in a large pot; add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring just to a gentle boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low; gently simmer until a thermometer inserted in center of sausage registers 165°F, 30 to 35 minutes.

Transfer brisket, short ribs, chicken, and cotechino to a large rimmed baking sheet; let cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pour brodo through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large pot; discard solids. Set aside 1½ cups brodo for serving; reserve the rest for another use.

Slice brisket against the grain; transfer to a large serving platter. Carve short ribs and chicken (remove and discard bones), and slice cotechino; transfer to platter with brisket. Spoon brodo over meat mixture; serve with caper-cornichon salsa verde, potato-Parmesan puree, and pickled vegetables.
