Perpetual soup: Bone
broth can be made in a slow cooker using this simple technique.
Ingredients
·
1 whole chicken (or the frame of a
roasted chicken)
·
2 sweet
bay leaves
·
1 tbsp black
peppercorns
·
any vegetable
scraps you have on hand
·
filtered water
Instructions
1.
Place one whole chicken or the frame of a roasted chicken into
your slow cooker with sweet bay, black peppercorns and any vegetable scraps you
have on hand. Cover with filtered water and cook on low for one week.
2.
After twenty-four hours, you may begin using the broth. As you
need broth or stock, simply dip a ladle or measuring cup into the slow cooker
to remove the amount of stock you need. Pour it through a fine-mesh sieve or,
preferably, a reusable coffee filter which will help to clarify the broth. Replace
the broth you remove from the slow cooker with an equivalent amount of filtered
water. If you’re using a whole, fresh chicken, you may also remove chicken meat
from the slow cooker as desired for stir-fries, in soups or in
3.
At the end of the week, strain off any remaining broth and discard
or compost the bones. The bones from your chicken should crumble when pressed
between your thumb and forefinger. Their softness is an indication that much of
the nourishment from the bones – minerals, amino acids – have leached from the
bones and into the broth you’ve enjoyed all week long. Wash the insert of your
slow cooker and start again.
