Lamb stock
For those of us who make stock regularly, check out the variations at the end of the recipe for some different flavours.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Quantity:  Approximately 1 – 2 litres

Ingredients:

  • 2.5kg lamb bones (especially lamb neck bones) including 1 – 2 marrow bones
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2-3 celery sticks
  • 3 large carrots
  • 1 onion, unpeeled and quartered
  • 2 bay leaves
  • several sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bunch parsley

Directions:

  • Put all the ingredients in a large stock pot, except the parsley
  • add enough water (preferably filtered) to cover the ingredients (about 3 litres. The liquid should reach no higher than 2.5cm to the top)
  • bring to the boil
  • a large amount of scum will come to the surface, remove this
  • then reduce heat to a low simmer, covered or uncovered for 8 – 12 hours
  • continue to remove any scum regularly.
  • just before finishing add the parsley and simmer another 10 minutes.
  • strain the stock and discard the solids

Now just include it in your favourite soups, sauces and other recipes. 

Variations:

  • For a deeper flavour, brown the bones over a low heat or roast in an oven before adding the other ingredients.
  • For an asian flavour cook with ginger and lemongrass
  • Add tomato puree at the end of roasting for a richer flavour.
  • Replace lamb bones with beef or chicken. Chicken requires less cooking time eg 3 – 5 hours.
  • Cook it in your slow cooker
