Zac's Food Stuffs: I am going to Start making stock More often!

It is super easy , Relatively cheap , and adds sooo much more body than Store bought!

Making stock helps you practice lots of skills, You can buy a whole Chicken and part it out for dinner then break down the carcass Roast it put it in some water and simmer it to get a nice chicken stock or ad vegetables for the last hour and get a fuller stock.

it's a little harder to make beef stock as their bones are bigger , But one of my Fave stocks is Pork stock. I really like the flavor of pork and it's easy and cheap to get Neck bones from the grocery Roast them and make a stock. It's even better if you can throw in some scraps from Fabricating a pork loin like I did. You end up with a gelatinous broth that you can reduce down with some thyme or rosemary and make a nice pork Glace to coat a roasted or grilled pork loin . or you can use it as the base of a soup .

It takes a little bit of work to make your own stock at home but Once you do it you'll see and Taste why it's a good Idea , plus you can customize your stock with whatever flavors you want while it's cooking!

First I took the scraps from meat fab and browned them in a bit of bacon fat

Next I put a sheet try with a bit of oil on it in a 400 degree oven as it's preheating

Take the pan out and place the neck bones on the tray

Flip as needed

When The bones are nice and Roasted remove from oven and place in pot with the browned scrap meat

Dump off the grease, then put a bit of water in the pan and heat on your stove to Deglaze the pan to get all the tasty bits off the pan and add that to the pot
