Soup with pistol shape of eggs and grissini, neatly served with a sharp nod to the news.
Clear Brazilian chicken soup with a curved row of halved eggs forming a pistol magazine, finished with a long grissini stick as the barrel. The pistol shape refers to the firearms found at the parliamentarian's home, neatly presented but with a sharp undertone – fitting the scandal.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 1.2 kg)
- 2 liters water
- 2 onions
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 eggs
- 4 grissini (long Italian breadsticks)
- 1 bunch parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Place the chicken in a large pot with 2 liters of water. Bring to a boil and skim.
- Add the onions (quartered), carrots (chopped), celery, bay leaves, and garlic. Simmer for 1.5 hours.
- Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs (8 minutes), peel and halve them.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, shred the meat from the bones and chop. Strain the broth.
- Season the broth with salt and pepper. Return the chicken meat.
- Divide the soup over 4 deep plates.
- In each bowl, arrange 4 egg halves in a curve to form a pistol magazine. Stick a grissini at the end as the barrel, angled in the soup.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serving notes
- Serve with extra grissini on the side.
- Offer some sambal for extra heat.
