Our regulars - bone broth & dumplings


   I use roasted organic chickens carcasses to make this wonderful bone broth   which serves us as a base for various types of soups, curries, stews and so on. Or  just drunk as it is. Reach in minerals and collagen.

 Basic recipe for bone broth

"Healthified" BROTH BASE ( by Maria Emmerich )
4 quarts water (reverse osmosis filtered water is best)
Leftover bones and skin from one pasture fed chicken
1 whole clove fresh garlic, peeled & smashed
2 TBS apple cider vinegar (organic)
2 TBS coconut oil 
2 onions, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 tsp thyme leaves

Place the water, chicken, garlic, and vinegar in a large kettle or a large crockpot and set the heat to "high." Bring to a boil, then reduce the setting to "low" for a soft simmer. Cook for a minimum of 8 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer it cooks the more nutrients and minerals!

Strain broth through a colander into a large container; reserve broth and discard skin and bones. Return kettle or crockpot to burner set on medium-high. Add oil, then onions and celery. Saute about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Add chicken, broth and thyme. Bring to a simmer.








As for dumplings,  I make them of minced organic pork, adding an egg, a teaspoon of psyllium husk, coconut flower, salt, freshly ground pepper, onion powder and fresh thyme, finally grated carrot ( optional )
