 Fall is already here and at times it gets real cold. Therefore, this is the time when I prefer to make lots of soups and stews because they keep me warm. Don’t you think? Use my selection of herbs or your favorite herbs, dried and/or fresh. Category: HACK Approx. Prep and Cook Time: 30 to 40 Minutes Approximate Cost: $3.00 Difficulty Level: Easy Allergens, Other: Gluten Free __X__ Vegetarian _X__ Servings: 6 to 7 cups (maybe more) Again, this is my idea to make a flavorful stock/broth: Step 1: go purchase a rotisserie chicken. Step 2: remove all the meat to use in salads, sandwiches, soups, etc. Step 3: most importantly, keep the carcass to make my chicken stock. It’s so good. Ingredients 1 tbsp. Dried oregano (.25) 1 tbsp. Dried parsley (.25) 1 tbsp. Dried thyme (.50) fresh Cuban oregano (my garden) (0) fresh Rosemary (my garden) (0) fresh cilantro (my garden) (0) fresh sage leaves (my garden) 1 tsp. Cumin (.15) 1 tsp. Black pepper (.10) 8 to 10 cloves of garlic, smashed (.50) 1 large onion with the skin on cut in cubes (.50) 2 celery ribs with the leave cut in 4-5 pieces each (.20) All the bones/carcass from a rotisserie chicken (0) 2 carrots, cut in pieces (. 25) 2 tbsp. Angie’s basting olive oil or the one of your choice (.30) 6 to 7 cups of water Directions Brown the rotisserie chicken bones in 2 tsps. of olive oil in med high. Chop a large onion in cube pieces, no need to peel it add it to the pot. Add 10 cloves of smacked garlic, no need to peel them, keep browning these ingredients. Add the dried spices, (most of the time I use dried because the flavor is more intense). Add the water. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 35 more minutes. Wait until it cools down, then strain to remove the ingredients and obtain the liquid stock. Before freezing your rotisserie chicken stock, remove any fat that built up on top of the stock and discard. Then distribute in freezer saved containers, and freeze them until time to use.
