A Tip for Your Weekend Meal Prep!
This
month is National Nutrition Month and The Roxburgh Group ladies are one
health-conscious bunch! One of Heather's main secrets is - Bone Broth. She
swears by it! Not sold? Not quiet sure what bone broth is? Bone Broth has been
proven to provide many medical and physical benefits, but here are our Top 5
Reasons why Bone Broth is The Bomb!
Servings: makes 10-12 cups
Ingredients:
2-3 roasted chicken carcasses (approx. 2 lbs. of bones); include any leftover skin or pan drippings
1 or 2 medium onions, unpeeled & quartered
1 head of garlic, unpeeled, cut in half crosswise
2 celery ribs, cut in 1 to 2 inch pieces
2 carrots, cut in 1 to 2 inch pieces
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
5 sprigs of fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1-1/2 teaspoons peppercorns
2 tablespoons cider vinegar (1 tablespoon per pound of bones)
2 to 2-1/2 quarts water (enough to immerse above ingredients)
NOTE: This is a salt-free broth. Add salt to taste, as desired.
Directions:
Add all of the ingredients to a 6 quart (or larger) slow cooker. * Cook on low for 12 hours (or more). While still hot, use tongs or slotted spoon to remove large pieces from broth. Then pour through a wire mesh strainer to remove the remaining solid bits.
For a FAT-FREE broth, pour broth into a large bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate overnight or until completely chilled. Scrape the hardened fat from the top and discard.
FREEZE IT. Broth can be refrigerated for 4 to 5 days. For extended storage, it should be frozen. It's convenient to freeze it in 1 or 2 cup portions for easy use in recipes.
USES: This broth can be used in any soups, gravies, or any recipes calling for chicken broth. It also can be drunk as is for a healthy supplement to your diet.
