Instructions

Making the Rosół

  1. 1Place the whole chicken in the pressure cooker. Add carrots, parsnip, celery root, leek, parsley roots, bay leaves, allspice berries, and black peppercorns.
  2. 2Pour cold water over the ingredients, ensuring everything is submerged. Do not add salt at this stage.
  3. 3Secure the lid of the pressure cooker and bring it up to high pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook for 60 minutes once high pressure is reached.
  4. 4Carefully release the pressure from the cooker as per the instructions. Open the lid away from your face.
  5. 5Gently remove the chicken and vegetables from the broth using a slotted spoon or tongs. Discard the cooked vegetables and spices.
  6. 6Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel for a crystal-clear result. Return the strained broth to the cleaned pressure cooker or a pot.
  7. 7Carve the cooked chicken. You can shred some of the meat to add back to the soup or serve it separately.
  8. 8Season the broth generously with salt to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer before serving.

Tips

  • Use cold water to start; it helps extract more flavor from the meat and vegetables.
  • Avoid boiling the broth vigorously after straining to keep it clear and prevent cloudiness.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Traditionally served with fine noodles (kluski) or cooked pasta.
