Preparation Add the salt, onion, carrot and celery to the water and when it boils, put in the capon. Let it boil for about an hour and a half at a medium heat to avoid the skin from breaking.

Serve it good and hot together with a Green Sauce. When the broth has been skimmed, it may be served in cups with croutons or used as broth for tortellini.
 
The Chef's tips We suggest you drink a Bramaterra wine with your dish.
