Chicken Stock

Stage 1:

  • 1 brown onion, roughly chopped

  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped

  • 3 celery stalks, roughly chopped (leaves included)

  • 1 leek (white part only), rinsed and roughly chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed

Stage 2:

  • 1.3kg chicken parts

  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp black peppercorns

  • 1 tbsp rock salts

01 Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large stockpot or slow cooker over medium high heat. Add stage 1 ingredients and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until softened.

02 Add stage 2 ingredients and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-24 hours (the longer you cook it, the more flavour will be produced).

03 Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain and capture stock. Pour into 250ml jars.

Store: In an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or place in the freezer in portioned jars for months.
