What to do when you are pressed for time and you have an over load of fresh organic basil!




Just throw your fresh organic basil and enough olive oil to make a PESTO LIKE consistency add some salt and Pepper and garlic if you wish if not leave it out , pour into your muffin tin or i guess you could use a Ice cube tray too, and freeze cover with some sarane wrap and then take out when set , and i just threw them in some sandwhich bags then threw them all once they were all in the little sanwhich bags in a bug freezer bag and you can just take them out as needed throw into soup or use for meat or even salad dressing or even veggies! :D

Homemade Stock ( 2 stocks ) A.K.A. Compost Stock & Remouillage and Vegetable Broth here tooTHRIFTY AND HEALTHY!

Hello All I am taking this time to write out my recipe for Homemade Stock or AKA Compost Stock :) and to follow after that Remouillage.

** THIS SITE USES COOKIES


To note ; Reason Why I call this Compost Stock is WE SAVE EVERYTHING, (weather its for our Compost Stock , Our Tea compost , or our duck compost or our regular garden compost ) yes we have allot of composts  we use everything!  If its something that can be saved to go to make stock I put it in a bag and put it in the fridge I try to make stock once a week. for example, bits of pieces of celery , apple cores, carrots pieces ,cabbage cores , pretty much veggie scrapes!  fresh herbs ext whatever can go into your pot to make stock! :D
To note Note : No i dont use tea to make my stock lol.

*




Ingredients :
1. Whole Organic Raw Chicken or Beef bones and carcus of beef ribs or what u have same with pork , of Bison, or Elk or Venison , what u have as far as meat. (rinsed , giblets take out and throw into stock with the liver and all)
( of what we do too , is Roast the chicken , eat for dinner then use the carcase and bones and left over meat in the stock) But I have found One organic chicken can successfully make 2  Twenty Quart Pots of Stock and 1 Pot of remouillage :)


(So depending on what you saved for your compost stock if u find u don't have enough veggie scrapes then use the following :D

2. 6 Cloves or garlic ( or more depending on your pallet)

3.) 5 Large organic carrots cut into threes, and I whole Organic Celery  cut into threes.

4) 2 to 3 large apples ( i use these instead of Onions due to the fact i am Intolerant  them :) .

5) 1 to 2 large onions no need to peel just cut in 1/2. (if tolerated) 

6) One Inch of Fresh Ginger Root.
7)13 whole peppercorns
8)
2 1/2Tabelspoon of Raw Apple Cider Vineger (this helps Extract all the goodness for the bones of the bird).
Sea salt

3 fresh or dried Bay Leaves.

and fresh herbs , Rosemary , thyme ext.... what u have on had throw in some springs.

Add all items into stock pot , fill to almost full with filtered water.  First I turn the stove top on to Medium heat to bring to an almost boil then when it starts to simmer, I turn it down to Low and put the lid on and It simmers Overnight.
(Or just as long as it simmers on low for  at least 8 hours ) .
Let cool , Using your Spider take out all the veggies and carcess and put aside in a large bowl to use for Stock #2.  then store  all the Broth in Mason Jars in the Freezer or CAN. Or if you want u can also use Ziplock Freezer bags and freeze in the portions u wish.

STOCK #2
Now that your first stock is done, Now time to make your #2 Stock, Put everything from the Bowl that you set aside from Stock #1 and throw it all back into the Stock pot and add more veggies and apple cores if used.
use 1/2 THE VEGGIES and apples and rest of ingredients  :)
Fill with water and do just as u did above for Stock #1 , over night simmer and so forth. just as directed above!!! :D
How to make Remouillage Below!! :D


You can make stocking using a Stock Pot  this is the one I have :)
Le Creuset Enameled Steel 20-quart Stock Pot



Or you can use a Crock pot  :)



Follow the directions above but of course u will have to cut the ingredients in 1/2 due to the fact that your crock pot is most likely 6 to 7 quarts .
As above first throw in what veggie scraps you have been saving all week or so.
1.1/2 Organic Raw Chicken (rinsed , giblets take out and throw into stock with the liver and all)
( of what we do too , is Roast the chicken , eat for dinner then use the carcase and bones and left over meat in the stock) .

2. 3 Cloves or garlic ( or more depending on your pallet)

3.) 3 to 4  Large organic carrots cut into threes. And 1/2 of an organic Celery

4) 2  large apples ( i use these instead of Onions due to the fact i am Intolerant  them :) .

5) 1  large onions no need to peel just cut in 1/2. (if tolerated) 

6) 1/2 of one  Inch of Fresh Ginger Root.
7) 7 whole peppercorns
8) 1 Tablespoon of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (this helps Extract all the goodness for the bones of the bird).
Sea salt 
Or you can use a pressure cooker :)
Fangor Pressure Cooker 6-quart , this is the one i have. (used to have :( it broke after many years of loving use.
Pretty Much the same directions as the Crockpot above.














Now for the  Remouillage:
"SECOND STOCK" (IN MY CASE IT WILL BE 3RD STOCK)
What is Remouillage :The Culinary Arts Dictionary defines the French word remouillage as ”a weak stock made by re-simmering bones that have been used to make stock once already.” As Thrifty as I am My Remouillage  is made from my Third stock  :)


Follow directions above  add more veggies and apples if using and herbs and salt and pepper and peppercorns and fresh herbs and YOU HAVE Remouillage  :) !!
Wonderfully used when making rice, quinoa , veggies and soups , sauces and gravies and  all sorts of uses.



Enjoy! :)


VEGETABLE BROTH
1) 6 Cloves or garlic ( or more depending on your pallet)
