Homemade Chicken or Turkey Broth from Leftover Scraps
Ingredients:
A chicken/turkey carcass or chicken or turkey parts (legs, necks or wings) 1-2 carrots 2 -3 celery stalks with leaves 1 onion (with peel) 1 leek (or clean dark leek leaves) A handful of parsley (with stems) A couple of dried mushrooms (or frozen mushroom stems) several garlic cloves 2 bay leaves a few pieces of ginger 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic salt 1-2 tsp pepper |
Directions:
Put everything in a cast iron pot and cover with water. Bring it all to a boil, spooning of the scum that rises to the top. When the stock boils, turn down the heat and simmer it covered for 2-3 hours, occasionally spooning off the scum. At the end, pour the stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl, discarding the solids. If there is some fat floating around put the bowl in the fridge and remove the fat layer when the stock is cold. I usually freeze my stock or use it within a couple of days.
