broth

I've been learning more recntly about the benefits of eating broths. The minerals and gelatin in the meat based broths are wonderful things. Or so the books and websites tell me.

Last night we ate risotto made from chicken stock (home made stock but not home grown chicken). Tonight we ate lamb shanks with some of the juices from cooking them (in the slow cooker) poured over the top. I kept the unused juices from the cooking dish. They are in the fridge now and sometime tomorrow I will work out how to maximise our broth goodies by cooking the evening meal using the shank broth.

I guess I'll be at the butcher's more from now on.
