Ingredients

For the recipe:
  • 1 carcass of leftover roast chicken (including skin and all bones)
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 sticks of celery, halved
  • 1-2 carrots, halved
  • 1 stalk flat leaf parsley
  • 1 tsp 4 colour peppercorns
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 leek, cleaned & halved (optional)
  • 1 Steenbergs bouquet garni

Home made stock can take some time but the additional depth of flavour is always worth it and great to make use of leftovers. Can easily be frozen afterwards.
