Chicken Broth

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:12:27 +0200

10-12 Chicken Drum Sticks

2 Carrots peeled and cut into 1" sections

1 Onion quartered through the stem end

Bouquet Garni (Bundle of herbs tied up with a piece of kitchen string)

Preheat the oven to 220Deg C

Spread the drum sticks in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to hold them in a single layer and sprincle the carrot and onion on top

Roast for about 45 Minutes, or until the drum sticks are well browned, and have released all their juices, and the juices have caramelized on the bottom of the pan.

Transfer the drum sticks to a pot and put the roasting pan on the stove top over high heat.

Pour about 2 cups water into the roasting pan, bring to a boil and deglaze the pan.

Scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour the liquid over the drum sticks in the pot.

Add cold water to the pot to cover the drum sticks by about 50mm and nestle Bouquet Garni in the centre. Bring to a gentle simmer, starting at a high heat and reducing the heat to low once a simmer is reached.

Spelt Bread

Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:01:56 +0200

What is spelt?

Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times; it now survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and northern Spain and has found a new market as a health food. Spelt is sometimes considered a subspecies of the closely related species common wheat (T. aestivum), in which case its botanical name is considered to be Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta. Read more…

Blend the honey into the oats mixture. Press evenly into the baking tin with your fingers. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Cut while still warm. Allow to cool in the oven while the oven is turned off (this allows the crunchies to harden). Store in an airtight container once cooled.
