Organic Chicken Stock/ Chicken Bone Broth
Ingredients
- Organic chicken carcass
- 2 carrots, roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4 cloves of garlic, smashed
- 1 bay leaf
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Litre Water
Method
- Place the chicken carcass in a large pot or slow cooker.
- Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme.
- Fill the pot with water until the carcass and vegetables are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. If you’re using a slow cooker, you can set it to low and let it cook for 8-10 hours.
- Periodically skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface.
- After the broth has simmered, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.
- Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the broth cool, then store it in the fridge or freezer until you’re ready to use it.
