Servings: 6-8

Ingredients

Beef brisket
2 pounds
Chicken
1 whole (about 3-4 pounds), or cut into pieces
Pork sausage
1 pound
Carrots
3, peeled and chopped
Potatoes
2, peeled and quartered
Celery
2 stalks, chopped
Onion
1, quartered
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Fresh parsley
for garnish
Bay leaves
2
Garlic cloves
4, smashed

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine the beef brisket, chicken, and pork sausage. Cover with enough water to submerge the meats and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. This process helps to ensure a clear, flavorful broth.
  3. Add the quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let the mixture simmer for about 2 hours.
  4. After 2 hours, add the chopped carrots, celery, and quartered potatoes to the pot. Stir gently to incorporate the vegetables.
  5. Continue to simmer for another hour, or until the vegetables are tender and the meats are cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the meats from the pot and allow them to rest for a few minutes before slicing them into serving pieces.
  7. Arrange the sliced meats and vegetables on a large platter. If desired, strain the broth through a fine sieve and serve it in a bowl on the side.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a vibrant touch and enhance the flavors.
