🍲 **TRADITIONAL TUESDAY — Making the Most of Your Chicken Bones!**
There’s something so satisfying about turning something that might otherwise be thrown away into a beautiful, rich homemade chicken bone broth.
Today at Yell’s Kitchen, my slow cookers are working away, making a batch of nourishing chicken bone broth. 🌿
**Here’s a little traditional tip that I always use when making mine. ****
First, I roast the chicken bones to develop a lovely, deep flavour.
Next, I put the roasted bones in the slow cooker, cover with water, and add a splash of apple c***r vinegar.
I then leave everything to soak for around **45 minutes before turning on the heat**.
The vinegar makes the water slightly acidic, which may help release some minerals from the bones.
Once they’ve soaked, I add my vegetables, garlic and herbs. But I don’t stop there!
🌿 **I also add my own homemade medicinal bone broth herb blend. ****
People have used herbs in traditional cooking for generations, not only for their wonderful flavours and aromas but also for their valued properties.
I love incorporating these traditional ingredients into everyday cooking. It’s a simple way to bring together my passion for food, herbs and old-fashioned kitchen skills.
Then I let everything simmer gently, allowing those beautiful flavours to develop.
The result? A rich, flavourful homemade broth, perfect for soups, stews, gravies, sauces, and cooking rice.
And the best part? You’re using something that might otherwise have ended up in the bin!
🌿 **Traditional cooking isn’t about fancy ingredients or complicated techniques. ** It’s about patience, resourcefulness and making the most of what we already have.**
Do you make your own bone broth? And do you roast your bones first?
