Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat olive oil and butter in pan till hot
  • Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic
  • Stir till heated and caramelising (just going brown)
  • Add garlic and cook for a minute more
  • Add bay leaves, pepper to taste and chicken carcass
  • Add 3 litres boiling water (use 2 kettle-full one after the other if you need!)
  • Hope that your crockpot is big enough!
  • Cover and simmer over the lowest possible heat, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 hrs
  • Pour into keeping container through a sieve to remove vegetables and meat bones and get a good clear stock.
  • =====notes=====
  • You can substitute most of a bottle of wine for 1/2 litre water if you want (I find that works brilliantly with risotto). You know what to do with the leftover wine.
  • A sprig of oregano, rosemary and thyme, tied together, adds great herb flavour if you need. I prefer a plain stock so I can add flavour in the recipe I'm using the stock in later.

    Hay Jeef: This is no doubt going to make a great "stock". This will for sure enhance some dishes a lot but to be honest, it's a bit too busy for me. Some things I like to use chicken stock in just don't need, or want, some of the stuff that's in this one. Actually, this would make a really great chicken soup, honest.
