Here’s a good chicken stock recipe that I got from a magazine and will modify it just to perfect it 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1 stewing hen (or 3lbs/1.5kg chicken pieces)
- 3 carrots, unpeeled and coarsely chopped
- 3 onions, peeled and halved
- 3 ribs of celery, coarsely chopped
- 1 plastic container of fresh sliced mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 tbsp parsley
- 1/2 tsp (2ml) dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp (2ml) peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 10 cups (2 L) water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Preparation:
In a large stockpot, place olive oil in and onions flat side down at medium to high heat. Let them brown. Place chicken a large stockpot. Add add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 2 hours. Remove bay leaves and discard. Remove all vegetables and strain liquid to have a clean broth.
Tip:
- Remaining vegetables and chicken can be eaten with some of the broth as a stew
