Microwave chicken stock
Based on Leites Culinaria but without the annoying adverts and converted for European units and microwaves. Works really well.
Please bear in mind a 1.75kg chicken will make three to four batches of this size.
Around 28 minutes of time for enough stock for a week of delicious home made meals!
Ingredients for 1 batch
- 70g cooked chicken bones and skin (ideally from a freshly roasted chicken).
- 250ml cold water.
- ½ garlic clove.
- 10-15ml chopped vegetables, such as onion, carrots, or celery.
- ½ml white pepper and salt to taste, added after cooking.
Directions
- Put everything listed in the ingredients into a big microwave jug, cut the bones so they are covered by the water.
- Cook on 1000W power for 7 minutes - stir halfway through, especially if the water does not cover the chicken.
- Stand for 2 minutes then strain and add the seasoning if required
If not using this immediately, it refridgerates well for up to five to seven days at 0°C. Ensure it is completely cold before placing it in the fridge in a sealed container.
Or may be frozen.
If doubling amounts, remember to double the time as it's a microwave! 140g of bones and 500ml of water will be 14 minutes not 7.
