Bone broth, a nutritious and flavorful liquid made from simmering animal bones and connective tissues, has gained popularity for its purported health benefits, such as improved joint health, gut healing, and boosted immunity. With its rich mineral content, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, bone broth is believed to support bone and joint health. Additionally, the amino acids found in bone broth, such as glycine and glutamine, are essential for gut health and may aid in digestion and nutrient absorption.

Categories     Soup     Soups

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds Bones (Large bones, short ribs, feet, knuckles, neck or even oxtails.)
8 cups Water
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1-2 cups Mixed Vegetables (Such as onions, celery, and carrots left in 2 inch chunks.)
1 Bay Leaves

Steps:

  • Gather the variety of bones.
  • Add water to about 2 inches above the bones. If you add too much, you may get a very watery broth. Remember you can always add more later to the cooked bone broth, but removing too much water is a total time suck.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar.
  • Add other flavorings. I like to use salt, bay leaves, a large onion chopped in quarters, and a carrot or two.
  • Pressure cook on high pressure for 2 hours. I haven't seen any additional benefits in a 3 or 4-hour pressure cook, so this is the most efficient way to do it.
  • After those two hours are up, you just let the pressure release slowly by itself. This should take about an hour.
  • Strain the broth into mason jars using a fat skimmer. Put the broth in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the disk of fat that accumulates on top and discard. Now, you have this briny, tasty bone broth ready to use.
  • You will likely have a jellied broth and this is perfect. If you don't, you used too much water, or you used bones without a lot of collagen. But don't despair because that broth still has all the benefits of bone broth.
  • Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 18 hours minimum and up to 24 hours.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Strain the broth into mason jars using a fat skimmer. Put the broth in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the disk of fat that accumulates on top and discard. Now, you have this briny, tasty bone broth ready to use.
  • You will likely have a jellied broth and this is perfect. If you don't, you used too much water, or you used bones without a lot of collagen. But don't despair because that broth still has all the benefits of bone broth.

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Soup, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 meaty chicken carcass, plus any jellified roasting juices from it, skin and fat discarded
1 large onion , halved and sliced
zest and juice 1 lemon
2 bay leaves
1-2 red chillies , halved, deseeded and sliced
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground cumin
small pack coriander , stems and leaves chopped and separated
1 large garlic clove , finely grated
250g pouch wholegrain basmati rice

Steps:

  • Break the chicken carcass into a large pan and add the onion, 1.5 litres of water, the lemon juice and bay leaves. Cover and simmer for 40 mins. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly, to make things a bit easier to handle.
  • Place a colander over a bowl and scoop out all the bones into the colander. Pick through them, stripping off the chicken and returning it with any onion as you work your way down the pile of bones.
  • Return any broth from the bowl to the pan - and any jellified roasting juices - along with the chilli, ground coriander, cumin, coriander stems, lemon zest and garlic. Cook for a few mins until just bubbling - don't overboil as you will spoil the delicate flavours. Taste, and season only if you need to. Meanwhile, heat the rice following pack instructions, then toss with the coriander leaves. Ladle the broth into bowls and top with the rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Choose organic, grass-fed bones and filtered water for the best results. Using bones from different animals, such as chicken, beef, and pork, can add depth and flavor to the broth.
  • Roast the bones first: Roasting the bones before simmering them adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the broth. This step is optional, but it's worth the extra effort.
  • Simmer the broth for a long time: The longer you simmer the broth, the more flavor it will have. Aim to simmer the broth for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours for an extra-rich broth.
  • Add vegetables and herbs for extra flavor: Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, parsley, and thyme. You can also add other vegetables or herbs that you enjoy.
  • Strain the broth before using: Once the broth is finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give you a clean, flavorful broth that is ready to use.

Conclusion:

Bone broth is a nutritious and delicious addition to any diet. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a flavorful and healthy bone broth that can be used in a variety of dishes.
