BONE BROTH
(DF, GF)
What's not to love about a bone broth! Rich in nutrients with gut healing properties it can be used as the foundation for any soup or as a mug of yummy hot goodness.
You will need a big saucepan (if you're simmering on the stove top) or a slow cooker, a sieve or colander and some glass jars for storage - simply recylce any jars you may already have.
Ingredients
-
2kg free range chicken wings OR 1 x whole chicken - I recommend having a chat to your butcher
-
2-3 x carrots
-
1 x leek
-
1 x onion
-
60ml x apple cider vinegar
-
salt & pepper
-
herbs - any fresh herbs you like
-
filtered water - enough to cover the ingredients once their in the pot
Method
-
This step is optional. I like to brown off chicken wings in the oven first. Simply spread them out in a baking tray (you may like to line it with non-bleached baking paper) and cook in 180celcius over for around 20mins. If you are using a whole chicken, this step is unecessary and the chicken can be placed whole into the base of your pot
-
roughly chop vegetables and onion into chunks and place into pot
-
add herbs and seasoning
-
pout filtered water to cover
-
add apple cider vinegar
-
cover with lid
-
turn on high heat until boil then reduce to simmer
-
simmer for 4 hours (if histamine is a problem for you) or overnight
-
remove large pieces
-
strain
-
allow to sit to cool slightly then remove / skim the scum off the top of the broth
-
carefully pour into glass jars - a funnel can be helpful in avoiding any spillages!
-
Once cool - or close to room temperature - place jars into the freezer leaving one in the fridge for immediate use (I recommend using within 3 days)
