#broth

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

The #freezer isn't big enough for #batches of #homemade #chickenbroth. A can is £1.90😱 & £1.40 on #specialoffer. That's #extortion! Looked at the #Ingredients (below). Shouldn't this be called carrot & rice #broth?

Water, Carrot, Cooked Rice (Water, Rice), Potato, Swede, Onions, Chicken (2.5%), Peas, Cornflour, Modified Maize Starch, Salt, Flavouring, Chicken Fat, Yeast Extract, Parsley, Chicken Stock (Water, Chicken, Chicken Fat, Salt, Yeast Extract), Ground White Pepper

Them: "So, this calls for vegetable stock and ..."

Definitely-not-me: "Broth."

Them: "... what?"

Definitely-not-me: "Stock is made from bones. If there's no bones in it, it's broth, not stock."

Them: O_o

Definitely-not-me: "Do carrots, celery, and onions have bones?"

Them: "... Why are you like this?"

Chaos #vegetable #broth #recipe:

Step 1: Do you have a Big Pot? Find out how much liquid it holds. Mine is 6 liters

Step 2: Get a container that can hold 2/3 of that (in my case, 4 liters). Keep it in the freezer and put raw veggie scraps in there

Step 3: When the veggie container is full, dump its contents into your Big Pot and add water until Big Pot is 2/3 full

Step 4: Simmer for a long time, or pressure cook to save time and fuel

Step 5: Let cool and pour through a fine mesh strainer

@Ulzana I added a few other things to mine:

A little olive oil and a tablespoon of butter — my housemate removes most of the #fat from the #broth before she refrigerates it .

For spices, I used — in addition to that on the recipe already:

#CIlantro

#Tumeric

#Chinese #hotmustard

A little #siracha,

fresh minced Garlic

Crushed red-pepper flake

Basically season to your personal tastes.

I also didn't have any #greenonions or #scallions, so I used #driedonion instead.

“Bread, water or ale, and a companaticum (‘that which goes with the bread’) from the cauldron, that provided an ever-changing broth enriched daily with whatever was available. The cauldron was rarely emptied except in preparation for the meatless weeks of Lent, so that while a hare, hen, or pigeon would give it a fine, meaty flavor, the taste of salted pork or cabbage would linger for days, even weeks.” atlasobscura.com/articles/perp #broth #food
