Bone Broth
Rough chop all the veg. (If you buy organic there is no need to peel carrots etc..).
Pop them in a generous casserole dish along with the chicken carcass (I break this up into three pieces) or beef bones. Add all the other herbs along with 2 or so litres of hot water to cover everything.
Lid on and pop it in a hot oven approx 220° for about 20-30 mins then lower the temperature to 120° for another 4 hrs or so. (If you forget to take it out and it stays in until morning it won’t be the end of the world, I prefer mine like that !). I find if you are making a beef stock it does well from staying in the oven for a good 24 hrs.
I make a batch and pop half in jars in the freezer and the other half I keep in the fridge.
This makes a great drink especially in the winter when you fancy a change from your usual cuppa at teatime, to fend off those energy slumps in the late afternoon or as a calming nourishing mug before bedtime. AND, this bone broth is packed with collagen, vitamins and minerals too.
If you would like to learn more about how good bone broth is for you then head over to my blog and search up in the archives where I have written all about the benefits and why we should all be enjoying mugs of bone broth all year round.
