Pot-au-FeuRomulo Yanes

A single pot-au-feu can become several courses. First, serve the marrowbones with salt and toast, then present the meats and vegetables. The broth can be a separate course or can be immediately ladled over the meats and vegetables, with mustard and horseradish added to taste and cornichons served on the side.

Cooks' notes:

·Meats can be simmered 1 day ahead. Chill broth and meats separately, uncovered, until cooled completely, then cover. To reheat meats, remove solidified fat from broth, then return meats to broth and bring slowly to a simmer, about 1 hour, before transferring meats to oven and cooking vegetables.
·Vegetables can be cut and tied 1 day ahead. Chill separately, covering carrots and turnips with water.
