METHOD
- Place the beef bones in a very large pot and add 7 liters (28 cups) of water. Bring to a boil and skim the surface. Add the bay leaves, thyme, celery leaves, green parts of the leek, 1 onion (halved) and a little salt. Let simmer for 3 hours, skimming occasionally. Strain and degrease. You could make this broth the day before.
- Chop all the other vegetables separately into large pieces (except the cabbage and the Brussels sprouts).
- Bring the broth (step 1) back to the boil, add the brisket and cook gently for 30 minutes.
- Add the pig's feet and tails and cook 30 minutes longer. Skim.
- Meanwhile, bring two large pots of water to a boil and blanch the cabbage in one and the Brussels sprouts in the other for two minutes. Drain.
- Now add to the hochepot the salt pork, onions, parsnips, celery, carrots and cabbage. Return to the boil, skim and cook gently for 30 minutes.
- Finally, add the Brussels sprouts, turnips, leek and lamb shoulder. Add a little water if necessary and bring back to the boil, skimming again and simmering gently for 30 minutes longer. Remove the meats from the broth, place them on a large platter and keep hot. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest. Taste the hochepot and correct the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Finishing and presentation
- Cut the calf's liver into 5 mm (1/4") dice.
- Heat 2 non-stick skillets over high heat, melt the butter in them and sauté the little sausages and the diced calf's liver separately. Season lightly.
- Cut up the meats, place some of each kind into large hot soup bowls and ladle some of the hot broth and vegetables into each bowl.
- Serve Flemish-style potatoes on the side and don't forget to put the mustard on the table.
