Ingredients (serves 4)
- 1 tbsp clarified butter
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely crushed
- 2 celery sticks, finely diced
- 3 large carrots, sliced about ½ cm thick
- 1 large handful fresh parsley,stems and leaves split up, finely chopped
- 1.3 litres homemade chicken bone broth (or good-quality vegetable stock)
- 2 large handfuls of shredded cooked chicken
- 4 handfuls of greens – kale (stems removed) cavolo nero, chard, cabbage – finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- A big pinch of salt
- A big pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
- Parsley, to serve
- A pinch of winter herbs – sage, thyme, rosemary (optional)
To cook
- In a large pan, gently fry the onion in clarified butter until it is soft – but not brown – about eight minutes.
- Add the garlic and celery, stir and let them fry for a minute. Then add the carrots, finely chopped parsley stems, broth and herbs if using, bring to the boil then lower to a medium simmer.
- When the carrots are tender, add the shredded meat and add the greens. The kale, cabbage or cavolo nero will need a few minutes to cook; the chard just a minute.
- Turn off the heat, add the salt, pepper and lemon juice and taste for seasoning.
- Serve in bowls with parsley leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Any extra can be refrigerated or frozen.
