Giblet Broth:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium size pot over high heat.
- Sear giblets on each side till nice and brown (there will be some browning on the bottom of the pot but this is ok).
- Remove giblets and add onions and celery and sauté for another 4-5 minutes until softened and starting to brown.
- Add giblets back into the pot along with bay leaves and thyme sprigs and the 5 cups of water (use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom and get the flavors incorporated).
- Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, skimming the froth that develops, as necessary on the surface.
- Pour though a fine mesh strainer and cool.
