Chicken stock
Chicken stock with Leftover Chicken Bones (makes about 1.75 litre)
Ingredients
- Bones of 2 chicken, wings and feet /or about 1/4 of a chicken
- 2 small carrots – cut into big pieces
- 1 stalk celery – cut into big pieces
- 1 large onion - quartered
- 1 piece of ginger (flattened)
- 1 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 10g dried scallop
- 2 litres water
Method
Put the leftover bones, wing and feet from chicken into a large stock pot and cover with cold water. Add celery, onion, carrots, ginger, scallop and garlic, and add salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to bring the stock to barely a simmer – simmer for at least 3-4 hours, occasionally skimming off the foam that comes to the surface.
Remove the bones and strain the stock.
To store stock for future use in soup, reduce the stock by simmering a few hours longer to make it more concentrated and easier to store. Stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
