The Urban Peasant - Chicken Stock | James Barber

chicken carcass, or 1 lb of leftover chicken bones
1 leek
1 carrot
skin of 2 onions
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp peppercorns
handful of parsley
1 stalk celery or 1 Tbsp celery salt
water

Place all of the ingredients in a large pot (the bigger the better) and fill the pot with enough water to reach a couple of inches over the chicken carcass. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat and remove any scum that may have collected with a spoon. Reduce the heat as low as possible and let the stock simmer overnight, or keep the heat at medium and allow the stock to cook for 3 hours or so, until it has a nice yellow colour. Pour the stock through a fine strainer and into small containers for freezing. If you like your stock strong, cook the reduced stock over medium heat for another 40 minutes or so.

I love watching James Barber's show. He reminds me of my grandpa who was also a great cook. Rest their souls in peace. I remember James reminding his viewers that the simplest way of saying I love you is cooking

I remember watching this guy when I came home from school as a kid. I used to love him! I was sometimes anxious watching this guy mess up sometimes...waiting for him to lop his finger or burn himself. Thanks for the post!
