Chicken Stock – Kitchen Essentials

Chicken Stock – Kitchen Essentials



Chicken Stock:

Preparing stock, broth, white sauce out of chicken is though time consuming. I prefer doing it on my own.

Ingredients:

Whole cornish hen/regular chicken(cut into 4 pieces)
Carrots 2-4 chopped into huge chunks
Celery 4-6 stalks chopped into huge chunks
Onions 2 quartered
Garlic 1 whole head(with/without skin) semi crushed
Ginger about 50 grams – peeled & roughly crushed
Cilantro leaves 1 bunch- root trimmed & roughly chopped
Parsley leaves 1/2 bunch – roots trimed & roughly chopped
Jalapenos 6-8 chopped
Wild rice 1 cup
Coriander seeds 1 table spoon
Peppercorns 1 table spoon
Cumin 4-6 spoons
Cinnamon sticks 1 large
Bay leaves dry 2 crumbled
Oil few spoons.

Method:

In a heavy bottomed crock pot, run few spoons of oil.

Add coriander seeds, cumin, pepper, cinnamon and bay leaves first.

Then followed by chicken pieces and all the remaining items. Saute for few minutes.

Add 2-3 jars of water, cover and cook. When the meat is tender. Remove from heat.

Filter this and store for further use. Very aromatic and challenging in taste.
