FAO: anyone paying £9 for <500ml of cloudy (poorly made) ‘bone broth’. Here is how to make a basic stock (made properly).https://twitter.com/emilylinka/status/1075677459306168321 …

A quick word on terminology. Robuchon defines a stock vs broth in such a way that says a stock is basically a broth that has been reduced down. So this recipe is for broth; it follows the technique suggested by Magnus Nilsson, which is better suited to home cooks; cheaper, easier

1. Get animal bones. Try to get bits that are not used as meat cuts (backs, necks, feet, etc). Befriend a butcher. Save all your bones from cooking if you can. 2. Roast bones until dark brown. 3. Put in a pan and cover with cold water (just covered) 4. Put a lid on the pan

5. Simmer the stock for ~1.5-2 hours. Skimming off the foam/fat/scum every half hour or so. (Save the fat for cooking) 6. Strain, cool This will last 3 months frozen, at least.

Options: - add vegetables - add aromatic herbs (add in the last 5/10 mins, otherwise you lose the aromats) - reduce the stock for intensifying flavour, or for making sauce - you can add some salt, but it depends on how you use it. - use one stock as a base for another
