Beef or Chicken Stock

IMG_3562.jpeg

 I saw this recipe on the web from a guy named Glen. It makes good broth/stock without a lot of drama.

Ratio by weight:

100% chicken bones, raw or beef bones (with bits of meat)

150% water 

25% onions, chopped

12% carrots, chopped

12% celery, chopped

.5% black pepper corns

.5% salt

1-2 bay leaves


Example amounts:

1 Kg chicken

1.5 L water ( 1 Kg)

250 g onions

120 g carrots

120 g celery

5 g pepper corns

5 g salt


Method:

Broil the bones to get a little browning on the surface.


Preheat oven to 180ºF - 190ºF

Place the bones in an ovenproof stockpot and cover with water.

Quickly bring the water temp up to 200ºF on the stovetop.

Do not bring to a boil!

Skim off any ‘foam’.

Place pot in oven and leave for 4 or 5 hours.

Add onions, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper to pot 

(plus any other aromatics you might like).

Return to oven for another 1-2 hours.

Strain the stock through fine cheesecloth, cool and store.
