• จำนวนที่เสิร์ฟ: 4 servings
• เวลาทำ: 15 minutes
• เวลารวม: 2 hours 15 minutes

ส่วนผสม

1 whole chicken (approx. 3 lb or 1.5 kg (alternative: carcass or thigh and breast with skin)

1 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic

2 carrots

2 stalks of celery

1 leek

4 sprigs of thyme

2 bay leaves

4 stems of parsley

6 cloves

10 juniper berries

20 peppercorns (black and white)

วิธีทำ

Prepare the onion:

Cut the onion in half without removing the skin. Grill the onion, cut side down, in a cast-iron frying pan without fat, until blackened. This will add a beautiful color and rich flavor to the broth.

Assemble the ingredients:

In a large casserole dish, place the whole chicken, grilled onion, garlic cloves, roughly chopped carrots and celery, leek, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and spices (cloves, juniper berries and pepper).

Cover with cold water (approx. 12 cups or 3 liters) and bring gently to the boil. As soon as the water begins to simmer, reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 hour.

Skimming the broth:

During the first few 30 minutes of simmering, regularly remove the scum that forms on the surface with a skimmer. This removes impurities and ensures a clear broth.

Add salt at the end of cooking:

Add salt about 5 minutes before the end of cooking to fine-tune the seasoning without altering the clarity of the broth.

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and set aside.

Filtering the broth:

Strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove vegetables and spices, leaving only the pure broth.

Transfer to an airtight container and allow to cool to room temperature before placing in the fridge or freezer. You can also use it immediately.
