How to Make Organic Bone Broth

With an abundance of nutrients, this cheap and easy superfood is making a comeback!

Affordable and easy to make, bone broth is nutrient rich containing protein, collagen and minerals including iron, calcium and magnesium.

Some of the benefits of this traditional brew may include:

  • Improved gut and digestive health
  • Aiding better sleep
  • Anti-ageing properties
  • Help the quality of hair & nails

The Robinson family have been making this wholesome super broth for years, and now it's time to share their recipe… maybe this is the secret to their family's great health!

Ingredients

  • 1-2kg organic marrow bones
  • 1 chicken carcass (use left over from a Sunday roast - zero waste)
  • Mixed veg - any combination of these
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 leek
  • 1 chive
  • 1 celery
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • Water

Take your marrow bones and place in a covered roasting tray and roast at 180-200°C for an hour (you can use a spare shelf in the oven when cooking your roast chicken dinner or air fry them). Roasting the bones gets all the flavour from them.

Don't forget to deglaze the roasting tray and use this liquid. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

The Method

  1. Take the bones, chicken carcass and all the other ingredients and place in a large stock pan or slow cooker and cover with water.

TIP: Use leftover veg water, this has a lot of goodness in it already.

  1. Timings are roughly the same for the hob and slow cooker.
  2. Simmer bones (don't let them boil or reduce too much) for 24 hours. If you do not want to cook them overnight, cool them and store in the fridge until you put them on the next day.

TIP: If you have one, a pressure cooker is ideal and reduces cooking time by three hours.

  1. Pass the cooked broth through a fine mesh sieve and place in jars. You can freeze these and use them as required.

TIP: For a deeper flavour add two tablespoons of soy sauce or coconut aminos, one cup of roughly chopped mushrooms and two tablespoons of tomato paste - this creates a richer flavour.

  1. Heat and season to taste - Maggi liquid seasoning is very good for this. Enjoy!
