Perfect recipe for tortellini in broth

We have the tortellini, let’s discover together how to prepare a good meat broth.

PREPARATION: 30 min
COOKING: 2 hours
TOTAL TIME: 2 hours and 30 min
SERVINGS: 4

INGREDIENTS

• ¼ of a capon or hen (preferably the thigh part)
• 1 piece of beef rib about ½ kg + a bone
• 1 stick of celery
• 2 carrots washed but not peeled
• 1 whole onion
• 1 bay leaf (if you like)
• Peppercorns

PREPARATION

All the ingredients should be put together in cold water. Once it comes to the boil, let it simmer for about two hours on average.

Remember, while it boils, impurities will rise to the surface and should be removed with a skimmer. Do not add salt at this stage.

After two hours, having kept the broth well skimmed, and without having completely removed the fatty part, remove the pot from the heat and gently take out the meat and vegetables, so as not to cloud the broth.

At this point, keep one part of the broth for cooking the tortellini and another part to add to the dish.

The broth for cooking will be used as boiling water, so it should be lightly salted.

Once the tortellini are ready, gently remove them from the broth with a slotted spoon and place them in serving bowls.

Add the broth kept for serving and enjoy your meal!!
