Soto Angsa

Soto merupakan makanan yang banyak disukai oleh masyarakat. Banyak variasi dari soto, seperti soto daging sapi atau soto daging ayam, namun apakan anda pernah mencoba soto daging angsa. Sepertinya soto angsa patut menjadi menu altenatif, pada saat berbuka puasa maupun nanti ketika lebaran. Kreator soto angsa, Chef Budi Prasetyo mengatakan, pihaknya sengaja memilih daging angsa untuk alternatif karena, jarang digunakan sebagai bahan masakan.

“Jika dimasak dan dirasakan dagingnya tidak kalah enak dengan ayam.” ujar Budi yang juga merupakan Chef Kepala di hotel Lor in. Budi menambahkan, untuk membuat soto angsa tersebut diperlukan daging angsa yang beratnya antara 1,5-1,7 kg. ”Dengan usia angsa antara 4-5 bulan,” terangnya saat ditemui Timlo.net di dapur Lor In. Sedangkan untuk bumbunya sendiri sangat mudah didapat, seperti tomat, seledri, daun bawang.

Cara memasak soto angsa tersebut cukup mudah, setelah angsa dibersihkan rebus angsa selama 4-5 jam dengan menggunakan api sedang. Tekstur dagingnya berbeda sehingga memerlukan waktu agak lama. Selama menunggu daging masak, siapkan bahan-bahan pelengkap seperti ketupat, telur asin, berkedel, kerupuk, jeruk nipis, dan sambel hijau.

Budi menambahkan, menu soto angsa tersebut memang disiapkan untuk menyambut lebaran tahun ini. ”Saya sengaja menghidari membuat makanan yang menggunakan santan.” ungkap Budi. Sementara itu, soto tersebut dapat anda cicipi di Sasono Budjono dengan harga Rp 65 ribu per porsi, atau mungkin anda ingin membuat sendiri di rumah dengan menambahkan kreasi yang lain.
