INDICATIONS
- First, we put the chickpeas to soak the night before we cook this dish.
- The next day, we wash and clean the vegetables, the meat and the bones, putting them apart.
- In a big pot we place all the meat ingredients with the bones in water to boil. When boiling, take remove the foam on the water and add the chickpeas inside a net, being easier to take them out to serve.
- Now, we let it all boil on low heat for 1 hour and a half.
- In the meantime, we prepare the meatball: we crush the meat and knead it with crushed parsley, salt and pepper, beaten egg, crushed garlic and the breadcrumbs in a bowl, making a ball and coating it in flour to get more compact.
- After around 1 hour and a half of cooking, we add the vegetables and the meatball and let it boil for 30 more minutes.
- Then, we add the black and white butifarra and the chorizo. We taste the broth checking for salt and leave it on heat for 30 more minutes.
- Finally, after the cooking, we strain it all, separating the broth and putting it in a saucepan on heat, and we make a soup with noodles or rice to serve separate.
