- Add the vegetables and seasonings and simmer for 6 to 8 hours.
- Remove the bones with tongs or a spider and strain into another container. Rinse the pot.
- Strain the stock back into the stock pot through a double layer of damp cheesecloth.
- Place the pot in a sink of cold water and allow to cool. Refrigerate.
- Remove from the refrigerator and lift off the layer of fat.
- Divide into suitably sized portions and freeze.
Fond brun (brown stock)
[edit | edit source]- Brown the bones and vegetables in a 400°F (180°C) oven in 2 tablespoons of butter, turning from time to time. Do not allow them to burn.
- Add bones and vegetables to the stock pot, then deglaze the browning pan with water, and add it to the pot.
- Simmer for 30 minutes, removing scum as it forms.
- Add the tomato and the tomato purée and proceed with the recipe as above.
