Homemade bone broth: an ideal dish for strengthening the body in the fall and winter
Ingredients (for 4 persons)
- 1 kg high-quality, organic bones (with meat, marrow, tendons, and joints, preferably from grass-fed animals)
- 4 liters osmotic water or purified water
- 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar with the "mother"
- 1 teaspoon natural sea salt (optional)
Optional for enhancing the flavor
- 30 minutes pre-baking 180°C to brown the bones before cooking them
Preparation
- Select the bones: Choose organic bones, preferably with marrow, cartilage, and tendons, as they add more collagen, minerals, and flavor to the broth.
- Brown the bones: Place the bones on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C to enhance the flavor of the broth. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
- Prepare the pot: Place the bones in a large pot and add the purified water. Add the 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar with the "mother" to facilitate the extraction of minerals and collagen.
- Let stand: Keep the bones in the water for 20 to 30 minutes before lighting the fire. This process helps release the nutrients more effectively during cooking.
- Bring to a boil: Heat over high heat until the water is boiling vigorously. As soon as it starts to boil, immediately reduce the heat to low to ensure gentle, slow cooking.
- Remove impurities: During the first 2 hours, stir occasionally and skim off any foam and impurities that appear on the surface approximately every 20 minutes.
- Slow cooking: Simmer the broth for the appropriate amount of time, depending on the type of bone used:
- Veal: 48 hours
- Chicken: 24 hours
- Fish: 8 hours
- Strain the broth: Once the cooking is complete, let it rest briefly and strain the liquid to remove bones and solid bits.
- Store properly: Store the broth in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze it in portions to preserve all its nutritional value.
