BEST BONE BROTH AT WHOLE FOODS RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• Place bones into a large stockpot or slow cooker and cover with water.
• Add apple cider vinegar to water prior to cooking. This helps pull out important nutrients from the bones.
• You can also add in sea salt, peppercorns, vegetables — such as onions, garlic, carrots and celery — and herbs like parsley and thyme for added nutrient value.
• Fill stockpot or slow cooker with filtered water to cover. Leave room for water to boil.
• Heat slowly. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for at least six hours. Remove any scum as it arises.
• Cook slow and at low heat. Chicken bones can cook for 24 hours. Beef bones can cook for 48 hours. A low and slow cook time is necessary in order to fully extract the nutrients in and around the bone.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Discard solids and strain remainder in a bowl through a colander.
• Let stock cool to room temperature, cover and chill.
