Warm your heart in the cold winter! Introducing Italian-style pot-au-feu

When the cold season comes, you will miss soups that warm your body from the inside out. This time, we will introduce a recipe that is an adaptation of the traditional Italian home-cooked dish, "Pot auf". Pot-au-feu is said to have originated in France, but it is one of the soup dishes that has long been popular in Italy. Italian-style pot au-feu is characterized by simple ingredients and fragrant herbs, and when simmered slowly, the flavor of the ingredients is brought out. This time, we finished off a light flavor with no beef beef or cloves, mainly chicken.

The history and charm of Italian-style pot-au-vue

Italian-style pot-au-vu is known in Italy as the "Bollito Mist" and has been enjoyed in the cold seasons, especially in northern Italy. Originally, it was a dish that used beef, pork, and bone-in meat to bring out the flavor of the soup, and then simmered with vegetables to enjoy it simply, but in modern times, recipes that can be easily made at home have become popular, and various arrangements have been added. Bollito mist is loved as a soothing dish with the aroma of vegetables and herbs as accents.

This time, we will introduce a recipe that uses ingredients that are easy to obtain in Japan.

Ingredients (for 4 people)

• Chicken thighs (with bones)... 2 bottles
• Onion... 2
• Garlic... 1 clove
• Celery... 2 bottles
• Tomatoes... 2 (pre-peel)
• Solid soup base... 2 pieces
• Olive oil... 2 tbsp
• Water... Appropriate amount
• Seasonings... Salt, pepper

How to make it

1. Preparing the ingredients

First, quickly wash the chicken thighs under running water and drain the blood.

Peel the garlic and cut in half.

Peel the onion and cut it into a cross to remove the core.

Remove the celery and then cut it into pieces that are easy to eat.

2. Preparing for the stew

Put the chicken in a deep pot, add water and heat over medium heat.

Once the scrub boils and the bitterness appears, carefully remove the bitterness and adjust it to a clear soup.

With this effort, the finish of the pot au-feu will be significantly improved.

3. Add vegetables

Add onion, garlic, celery and tomatoes to the pot, and add the solid soup base. Heat again over medium heat and simmer until the ingredients are soft.

If the water is low, add an appropriate amount to adjust.

4. Adjust the flavor

Once all the ingredients are soft, season with salt and pepper.

Finally, adding olive oil will add flavor and make it mellower.

Add a little lemon juice to your liking for an even lighter flavor.

5. Serving and finishing
