Recipe


Ingredients

  • 60mL extra-virgin coconut oil
  • 1kg lamb marrow bones
  • 2L filtered water
  • 2 carrots, peeled & roughly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 onion, peeled & quartered
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tbsp apple-cider vinegar
  • Celtic sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Method


  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Place flameproof casserole dish on stovetop over medium heat and melt coconut oil. Add bones and stir to coat. Add lid and transfer casserole dish to oven. Bake for 30 mins or until bones are browned.
  • Transfer to stovetop, cover with filtered water and add remaining ingredients, including seasoning. Bring to boil, then reduce heat as low as possible and simmer for 4–6 hours. Add a little more filtered water from time to time if necessary.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool, then strain and refrigerate until fat congeals on top. Skim off fat and store stock in airtight container in fridge or freezer or freeze in ice-cube trays.
  • Tip: You can make bone broths in a slow-cooker. Cook on low for up to 24 hours, topping up with filtered water if it reduces too much.
