Bone broth

[Moorland Prepper]

Not quite bone broth but a good source of protein:

Teaspoon full in most hot drinks and into stews.

FORTY QUID A KILO !!!
I'll carry on boiling scraps of bone.

Only jesting folks. No offense intended.

Meanwhile.....
Used the second half jar of broth with the last nest of noodles for lunch. I'm a convert. Picked up another few packs of noodles and I will be making a mass of broth soon. I may even leave the chicken flesh in it for a hearty batch of soup.

In some butchers and supermarkets you can buy pig skin bang it in the microwave best keep a eye on it and bingo
Pork scratchings high in protein.
Tesco used to make its value range Pork Sausages out of pig skin don't know why they stopped cheap and high protein.

Yes you can and they come out like the puff ones you get in the pub and most of the fat melts you can use this to fry or throw away.

I'm such a convert, from where I previously said Yuck!

Yesterday, I treated us to a hot rotisserie chicken from Tesco (£6.50)* + some big baps (£1). That gave us the heart of 6 lunches. The bones would normally be binned, but went into the slow cooker and made 600ml of broth. That broth, with three noodle nests (6/£1) or a handful of broth mix, will be another three good portions for lunch or supper.

The drained carcass still had more meaty bits than expected. probably more than in the average tin of soup.

Sounds mean and frugal? 9 lunches/suppers for £7.50. Yes. but it's filling, tasty and nutritious.
Now, I have to master getting the chicken on yellow sticker.

I see Farmfoods have whole 1.8k chickens for £3. I need to find a way to cook that in the most energy efficient way. Spatchcock? Slow cook? Microwave? Poach?

When you're using the oven for something else?


Jansman probably knows eight different ways to dismantle a chicken

LOL see jen people use to say to me that is disgusting but when they try it they see it tastes better than them jelly pot ones you can buy , i learnt this from my late dad , i know he past on a few things to me but this has to be a number one tip , also jeb if you have a lamb dinner and use a shoulder or leg use that bone to make a stew you will be amazed how much meat gets wasted , i love to boil down a carcass the slow cooker is a good idea .

Jen have you got a air fryer i keep toying with the idea as i know they are high power but cooking times and the amount of spaces your heating is way less , we have a halogen cooker i am going to master that now , i hate putting the oven on for just small meals so now i get a batch of cakes and other stuff ready to go
