The Best Bone Broth Recipe
Description
The Best Bone Broth Recipe starts by roasting bones at 400°F to deepen their flavor through browning. After roasting, the bones are transferred to a large pot with water, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns, then brought to a boil and simmered gently for at least eight hours. This long cooking process extracts gelatin, minerals, and flavors from the bones, creating a rich broth.
Straining the broth through cheesecloth removes any solids or impurities, leaving a clear, flavorful liquid. You can use the fresh broth immediately or store it for later uses like soups or sauces. The use of bay leaves and peppercorns contributes mild aromatic and spicy notes without overpowering the natural taste of the meat and bones.
Ingredients
- 2 lb bones beef, chicken or pork
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 qt water
- 4 bay leaf
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste, sea salt
- 1/2 tsp peppercorns
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the bones on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Bake the bones for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted bones in a large pot. Add the water, salt, bay leaves and peppercorns into the pot.
- Bring the broth to a boil. Turn the heat to low and allow the broth to simmer for at least 8 hours.
- Strain the bone broth through a cheese cloth. Use it right away or store it for later use. Enjoy!
