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.
