Thorough preparation
- Preparation: prepare all the ingredients and tools, read the steps, then measure the ingredients. This way, you don't have to rush while cooking, and it's easier to find the right consistency.
- Place the nose in cold water, heat it slowly, and carefully skim off the foam. Go slowly and check the texture, aroma and balance of flavors before each subsequent operation.
- Add the spices and onion; cook for two hours until barely bubbly. The liquid should just bubble evenly; in the meantime, check the softness and, if necessary, replace the liquid in small portions.
- Add the vegetables and cook for another 45-60 minutes. The liquid should just bubble evenly; in the meantime, check the softness and, if necessary, replace the liquid in small portions.
- Strain and serve with separately cooked meat, vegetables and meat removed from the bone. Taste one last time before serving, then serve fresh to the table for the best temperature and texture.
- Finishing and serving: let the food settle for a few minutes, if its character allows. Taste it, adjust the seasoning, and then serve it at the right temperature for the food.
Practical tips and common mistakes
- Start in cold water and just pearlize; this way the juice will be clear and the taste strong.
- Keep the soup at a gentle simmer: a strong boil can make it cloudy and break up the ingredients.
- Adjust the final salting at the end of cooking, because the flavors are concentrated by evaporation.
- Only cool the leftovers and put them in the fridge, covered, and reheat them according to the nature of the food before consumption.
