Instructions
- You can make this stock in a large stock pot, your largest saucepan, crock-pot or slow cooker.
- Place the whole chicken or chicken pieces in the pot.
- Cover with water (filtered if possible).
- Add diced vegetables, bay leaves, salt and peppercorns. Ensure all the ingredients are covered with water.
- Bring to the boil. Skim any scum from the surface and discard.
- Reduce heat to a very gently simmer for around 2 hours or longer (if tolerated). If you have issues with histamines - just cook for long enough for the meat to be cooked through (around 40 mins - 1 hour). As tolerance improves increase cooking time.
- Use as a base for stews, soups and sauces.
