Brodo di Parmigiano (Parmesan Broth)

Ingredients for Brodo di Parmigiano (Parmesan Broth)

• 450g Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese rinds (see note)

• 1 small, hard Italian sausage (5 to 200g ) such as Creminelli’s Sopressata, Casalingo, Barolo, or Wild Boar, sliced into 1-inch pieces (vegetarians: omit)

• 2 yellow onions, peeled and coarsely chopped

• 2 russet potatoes, coarsely chopped

• 2 carrots, coarsely chopped

• 1 garlic head, halved crosswise

• 13 bay leaves

• 11 fresh thyme sprigs

• 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

• 1 teaspoon juniper berries

• 1 bunch fresh parsley

How to make Brodo di Parmigiano (Parmesan Broth)

Add everything but the parsley to a large stockpot with 2.8L water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer so low you see only a bubble every 10 seconds or so. Maintain this simmer for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.

Add the parsley and simmer for 1 more hour. Strain all of the solids out of the stock with a sieve over a bowl and use the broth immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or the freezer for up to 1 month.

To make a soup-like pasta dish, boil the pasta directly in the broth along with greens such as kale, bok choy, or broccoli.

To make a thicker sauce to coat noodles, simmer to reduce the brodo by half, then toss it with pasta just before serving.
