Boiled Cappone di Morozzo bollito

Ingredients

• Cappone di Morozzo

• carrots
• celery
• salt

Preparation

Put the capon in water that has already been boiled, salted and with the aromatic herbs and simmer so that the skin remains intact, for about an hour and a half.

Serve hot, with the back turned upwards in order to see the thread with which it has been sewn after castration, guarantee that the animal has been raised using traditional methods, and accompany with the classic green "bagnet" sauce.

The stock well-skimmed and excess fat removed can be served in a cup with croutons or used for cooking tortellini.
