And it\u2019s still today one of my comfort foods and the perfect companion to serve tortellini or passatelli in brodo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It nourishes and embraces. There&#8217;s nothing that a cup of hot meat broth can&#8217;t fix. A cup of hot broth is comforting and healing. On certain cold and grey days it is my heart&#8217;s comfort food.<\/p>\n<p>For my husband and I, the traditional preparation of meat broth is a family habit.<br \/>\nWhere we grew up and now ours.<\/p>\n<p>When we want a good meat broth, we prepare it over the weekend. On Saturday morning we buy what we need, in the afternoon we put the pot on the heat, then we let the broth rest all the night and Sunday morning we filter and we are ready for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/category\/recipes\/occasions\/sunday-lunch\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a great Sunday lunch<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the recipe, I wrote a short guide for its preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Good traditional cuisine, Monica<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>Keep in Touch<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">To receive unpublished recipes, tips, and food stories, sign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tortelliniandco.substack.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Tortellini&amp;CO newsletter<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s4\">Follow me on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tortelliniandco\/\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/a><b>,\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/tortelliniandco\/_created\/\"><b>Pinterest<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tortelliniandco\"><b>Facebook<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-22810 size-full\" title=\"How To Make Homemade, Italian, Traditional Meat Broth\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6430.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Homemade, Italian, Traditional Meat Broth\" width=\"562\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6430.jpg 562w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6430-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_6430-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-22796 size-full\" title=\"Traditional Meat Broth: How to Make Italian Stock\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_5850.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Meat Broth: How to Make Italian Stock\" width=\"562\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_5850.jpg 562w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_5850-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_5850-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 562px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-27836 size-full\" title=\"How To Make Homemade, Italian, Traditional Meat Broth\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5347.jpg\" alt=\"How To Make Homemade, Italian, Traditional Meat Broth\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5347.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5347-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5347-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Traditional Meat Broth Recipe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">serves 4<br \/>\nIngredients<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">chicken leg, one<br \/>\none piece cow double muscled or one piece of beef brisket, about 400 g<br \/>\nbeef shank, about 400 g<br \/>\ntwo beef bones<br \/>\none yellow onion, one carrot, one stalk of celery with leaves<br \/>\nwater, three and a half liters<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Wash the vegetables, break the celery cut in half, remove the skin of the onion.<\/p>\n<p>Put everything in a large, tall pot and add 3 \u00bd liters of water. Start out with low heat for a few minutes, then raise the heat to medium until boiling.<\/p>\n<p>Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 4 hours without stirring, and with the lid cracked. Once you turn off the heat, I suggest removing meat, bones and vegetables immediately to prevent the meat from overcooking and to avoid that the broth becomes too salty.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the broth and leave to cool down in an already cool place. I prefer the terrace for instance, over the refrigerator. The low temperature will help the fat solidify, making it easier to remove.<\/p>\n<p>Once it has cooled down, remove the fat with a slotted spoon, and filter using two strainers one on top of the other and repeat the operation twice. Taste the broth, and, if necessary, adjust salt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The meat broth recipe is a basic recipe.
