Bone Broth For Matta777

[pastafreak]

Recipe for bone broth
The easiest way is...get yourself a nice big chicken. Make a roast dinner. Pick all the meat off after you've eaten what you want. Save the rest for more meals. Break up the chicken carcasses...thats all the bones, skin, cartilage etc. Put in a nice large pot along with a chopped onion or 2, carrot, garlic if you like, herbs such as bay leaf, thyme, pepper and salt. Cover with just boiled water and bring to a low simmer. Leave for several hours at least. When done, you'll need to strain the broth then portion into freezer containers. You can also get raw carcasses from butchers...these should be roasted first for better flavour.
You can also ask the butcher for bones from beef, or pork...also turkey. All can be turned into lovely bone broth.
Hope this has been helpful. :)

Celery is nice in the stock too, and you can swop the onion for green outer leaves of leeks or spring onions if you have any. A cheap way to make lovely chicken stock is to buy some chicken wings, roast them off on a tray with carrots, onions, garlic, then toss the whole lot into a stock pot and proceed as Pasta described.

I thought broth was like a stew? like those tins of beef broth and scotch broth my gran likes.

[calmck]

Broth is usually liquid, sometimes with meat and veg in it. More liquid than a stew

[curlygirlies]

But the recipe says strain out all the bones and veg? The tins of soup my gran has are thick and full of veg & stuff.

curlygirlies. Broth in North America ( where the OP comes from) is a clear liquid made of bones and scraps of veg. In the UK its called 'Stock' as in chicken stock cube, beef stock etc.

Cheers APG, how can I give you best answer?

That's how I make stock for stews, soups, casseroles and gravy :) I use the slow cooker, though.

Stock is broth.....same thing (according to Mrs sqad).

Sqad then get her to go buy some Heinz Broth -she will be sorely disappointed if she's buying it to make boeuf bourguignon

curlygirlies...bone broth/stock...whatever you want to call it...can be used as a base for hardy soups and stews. Or, just had as a drink on its own.
The difference between stock and bone broth is that bone broth is cooked longer...sometimes 24 hours or more...to get as much nutrition from the bones and cartilage as possible.
As mentioned on another thread, tinned "bone broth" has very little of the key ingredient.

Or you just bung the whole lot in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes which I do regularly.

Your method sounds pretty straightforward and delicious. I've been meaning to incorporate more Bone Broth like https://healofoods.com ; into my diet for its health benefits, especially during these colder months. Your suggestion to use leftover roast chicken carcasses is genius – it's a great way to make the most out of every part of the bird and reduce waste. Plus, the addition of aromatic veggies and herbs must give it such a rich flavor profile. I'll definitely give it a try soon, maybe even experiment with different types of bones like beef or pork as you mentioned. I've heard some good things about it being both healthy and delicious.
