Time 3h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 lbs beef short ribs or 3 lbs beef brisket
3 -4 veal bones, with marrow (optional)
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut in 1-inch chunks
1/2 large onion, cut in large dice
2 celery ribs, cut in 1-inch chunks
1 large garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1 cup diced plum tomatoes or 1 cup crushed plum tomatoes, from a can
1/2 large leek, cleaned thoroughly and cut in 1/2-inch slices
5 -6 whole black peppercorns
2 -3 allspice berries
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
kosher salt, to taste
6 ounces acini di pepe pasta or 6 ounces orzo pasta, cooked according to package directions
1 bunch flat-leaf Italian parsley, leaves only
1 bunch mint, leaves only
fronds from 1 fennel bulb
4 salt-packed anchovies, fileted and rinsed well
2 tablespoons capers, preferably salt-packed, rinsed and drained
1 hard-boiled egg, roughly chopped
4 cornichons
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse beef and pat dry. Place vegetables, spices and herbs in a stockpot with 3 quarts cold water. Bring to a boil, then add the beef and optional bones. Season with kosher salt. Be sure the meat is fully submerged.
  • Return to the boil, skimming any foam that rises. Lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook 3 hours, skimming any further scum that rises. Remove from heat and allow to cool, undisturbed, until room temperature, 6-7 hours.
  • Remove meat and adjust seasoning of broth with salt and pepper. Reheat and serve, with or without the vegetables, over cooked miniature pasta (or cooked rice), with grated Parmigiano, Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano.
  • Combine all the salsa verde ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth.
  • Slice the cold beef across the grain. Serve with salsa verde.
  • Note: Leftover beef can be shredded and mixed with finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, minced fresh parsley, finely chopped cornichon, dried oregano, a pinch of chili flakes, salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil to make a beef salad - the longer it stands, the more the meat absorbs the flavors. Serve on toasted bread or crackers.

BOLLITO MISTO (ITALIAN BOILED MEATS WITH RED AND GREEN SAUCES)



Bollito Misto (Italian Boiled Meats With Red and Green Sauces) image

Bollito misto is the Italian version of a boiled dinner, somewhat similar to the French pot au feu, but more complex. (A New England boiled dinner pales in comparison.) The dish can be quite an extravagant affair, with many cuts of veal, beef, tongue, sausages and a fat capon. This is a simpler version, though it is still a project and easier to complete if the work is spread over two or three days. But it is a worthy adventure. Serve the broth as a traditional first-course soup garnished with tortellini or other small stuffed pasta shapes, or plain, in little cups, for sipping. Two bright sauces - one green, one red - round out the dish as condiments.

Time P2DT5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 34

4 pound chuck roast, rolled and tied
3 pounds bone-in beef shank, sliced 1 1/2-inch thick
Salt and pepper
4 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
2 large onions, peeled
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 celery stalks
2 large carrots, peeled
1 precooked cotechino sausage (about 1 pound)
6 sweet Italian sausages, with or without fennel seeds (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8 medium carrots, peeled
3 fennel bulbs, trimmed and cut into wedges
6 medium golden beets, turnips or rutabaga, peeled, cut into wedges
1 1/2 pounds small potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
Parsley sprigs, for garnish
3 bunches parsley, leaves and tender stems (about 3 cups)
1 bunch basil, leaves only (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons capers in brine
Extra-virgin olive oil
Generous pinch of red-pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
4 thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons grated horseradish
A few drops of red wine vinegar
1 cup cubed day-old bread (1/2-inch pieces)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 large roasted peppers (jarred are O.K.)
2 small garlic cloves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or hot are fine, as long as it's fresh)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the meats: Season chuck roast and beef shank generously with salt and pepper and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate overnight, if time permits. Transfer meats to a 12-quart pot. Use the whole cloves to stick the bay leaves onto the whole onions, and add to the pot along with peppercorns, celery stalks and large carrots.
  • Cover with 4 quarts water (or a little more to cover) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover with lid ajar and cook at a bare simmer for 2 to 3 hours, until meats are fork tender.
  • Make the salsa verde: Purée parsley, basil and capers in food processor with about 1 cup olive oil to make a rough, loose paste. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper, scallions, horseradish and vinegar. Thin with more oil to desired consistency. You should have 1 1/2 cups. (Both sauces can be made well ahead of time. The salsa verde will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator and is great on grilled fish, chicken or vegetables.)
  • Make the salsa rossa: Soak bread cubes with red wine vinegar until soft. Transfer to a blender or food processor, along with roasted peppers, garlic, tomato paste, paprika and cayenne. Blend until smooth, thick and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, stir in olive oil until it's the consistency of a milkshake. (Don't worry if it's a little thin.) Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning - it should be spicy, and you should have 1 1/2 cups. (The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.)
  • Once meats are tender, remove them from the pot and set aside. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve and discard aromatics. Ladle off any surface fat. (If time permits, refrigerate meat and broth overnight.) Reheat meat in a small amount of broth. Bring remaining broth to a simmer and reduce for 10 to 15 minutes to concentrate flavors. Season to taste.
  • Bring a separate pot of water to a light simmer over medium heat, and cook the precooked cotechino sausage for 30 minutes. Add the Italian sausages and simmer for 12 minutes, until firm and cooked through. Turn off heat and keep sausages warm in their cooking liquid.
  • As sausages cook, prepare the vegetables: Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook each type of vegetable separately until soft but not mushy, about 10 minutes each, a bit longer for the potatoes. Blot on a kitchen towel, then arrange on a platter and keep warm.
  • To serve, cut chuck roast into 3/4-inch-thick slices, and chop shank meat into rough chunks. Cut cotechino crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Leave Italian sausages whole. Arrange all meats on a platter, moisten with a little hot broth and garnish with parsley sprigs. This meal works well as a buffet, or you may prepare individual plates. Pass salsa verde and salsa rossa at the table. Serve broth in small cups alongside, if desired.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 pounds beef brisket or top round
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups beef stock or broth
About 4 cups water, enough to cover the beef
2 onions, peeled and quartered
4 celery stalks, cut in 1/2
1 bay leaf
4 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
1 pound small boiling potatoes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Gorgonzola Sauce, recipe follows
Spicy Salsa Verde, recipe follows
4 ounces Gorgonzola
2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped parsley leaves, about 1 bunch
2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped capers
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons hot sauce, or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a large braising pot over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Sear the beef, browning it on both sides, about 5 minutes a side. Carefully add the stock and enough water to just cover the meat. Add the onion, celery, and bay leaf. Bring the liquid to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 hour. Add the carrots and potatoes and cook until the meat is tender, about another hour. Carefully lift out the meat, place on a cutting board, and cover with foil. Strain the vegetables from the stock. Discard the celery, onion, and bay leaf. Arrange the carrots and potatoes on a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Continue cooking the stock uncovered over medium heat until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the meat against the grain, on an angle. Arrange the meat alongside the carrots and potatoes on the platter. When the stock has reduced, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a gravy dish. Serve the Bollito Misto with the gravy and bowls of the Gorgonzola Sauce and the Salsa Verde.
  • Put all the ingredients in a food processor and combine until smooth. Serve in a side dish.
  • In a bowl, stir all the ingredients together until combined. Serve in a side dish.
