Chicken Stock
From 'Eat Mexico' by Lesley Tellez
This recipe is an essential part of many other recipes. Mexican Chicken Stock isn't as rich or as heavy as a classic European stock, and uses less ingredients to flavour it.Ingredients
- 1.3kg chicken pieces, excess fat trimmed
- 225g chicken feet
- ½ medium onion, quartered and unpeeled
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
Recipe
- Place the chicken pieces and feet in a large, deep saucepan with enough water to cover. Add the onion and garlic and bring to the boil.
- Skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer uncovered.
- Remove the thighs and drumsticks when the meat is tender, after about 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat and return the bones to the pan.
- Save the meat for another use.
- Simmer the stock for a further 2 ½ hours, uncovered, adding more water if necessary. Leave to cool.
- Refrigerate the stock overnight. In the morning, scoop off any fat that has accumulated on the surface.
- Warm the stock, strain, and leave to cool. The stock is ready to use, or freeze for future use.
