COD
  • 300 grams cod filet
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
SAUCE
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tsp butter

Basic Chicken Broth

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2-4 hrs
  • Yield: 3 liters / 3.17 quarts
Print Recipe

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot with lid
  • large bowl
  • fine sieve

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 liters water
  • 1.5 kilograms of any kind of chicken parts with bones and a bit of fat (e.g. stewing hen)
  • 800 grams mixed vegetables of your choice (e.g. carrots, onions, celery root, parsley, leeks)
  • 1 bundle of fresh herbs of your choice (e.g. thyme, parsley, cilantro, chives)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 5 cloves
  • 1/4 tsp coriander seeds
  • 5 allspice
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp avocado oil or clarified butter
  • 22 grams salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Wash your vegetables, leave their skins on, and chop everything into large pieces. Also, wash the herbs because we’ll use them whole, including their stems.
  2. Pat the chicken pieces dry with kitchen paper. Then heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot and fry the vegetables until they get a little nice browning. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and add 3 liters of cold water.
  3. Add 2 dried bay leaves, 5 allspice berries, 3 cloves, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander seeds, and the herbs to the pot.
  4. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let it simmer with the lid on for at least 2 hours. For the best results, I recommend letting it cook for 4 hours.
  5. After cooking, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Take out the chicken, vegetables, herbs, and spices. If you’ve used chicken parts with meat on, don’t forget to save the meat for other recipes.
    Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into another pot. Season the broth with salt if desired. I usually add 6–8 g (approximately 1 teaspoon) of salt per liter (4 cups) of broth.
  6. Let the broth cool completely. Skim off any fat floating on top, or if your pot fits in the fridge, let it rest overnight. The fat will solidify on the surface, making it easy to remove.
  7. The broth is now ready to use. Alternatively, pour it into sealable jars or deli containers. You can store it in the fridge for up to 6 days or freeze it for up to 6 months.

Notes

If you cook on a regular basis, you’ve probably noticed how many vegetable scraps end up in the trash, e.g. onion skins, carrot peels, leek ends, herb stems, and more. Instead of tossing them, grab a large ziplock bag and store all your scraps in the freezer. Over time, you’ll collect a substantial amount of veggie and herb scraps, which are perfect for making your next broth at home. No need to defrost them, simply toss the frozen scraps directly into a pot, cover them with water and go for it. Use them alone for a flavorful vegetable stock or pair them with chicken or beef bones for a rich, meaty broth. It’s an easy, eco-friendly way to ensure you always have homemade stock for literally no cost!

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife

  • two large pans
  • small pot

Ingredients

Units Scale
CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
  • 160 grams bread crumbs
  • 120 grams all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 600 grams chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp clarified butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
CARAMELIZED ONIONS
  • 600 grams onions
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp clarified butter
TOPPINGS
  • 1 lemon
  • parsley

Instructions

  1. Peel the onions and cut into thin stripes. Prepare three shallow plates of the same size. Pour flour into the first plate, break 2 eggs into the second plate and whisk with a fork. Season the egg with salt and pepper. Pour breadcrumbs into the third plate.
  2. Melt 1 teaspoon of clarified butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Now caramelize slowly over a medium heat until they are almost dark brown. This can take a good 30-40 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, bread the chicken breast. To do this, cut the meat in a butterfly cut. Place the chicken breast fillets between two layers of cling film and pound with a little force and a meat mallet to a thickness of about 5-8 mm.
  4. Now dredge each piece of meat in the flour first and press down well on all sides. Next, pull through the egg so that the piece of meat is well coated on all sides and finally pull through the breadcrumbs and press down well.
  5. Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and allow to melt. Now fry the breaded chicken breast fillets in the fat until golden brown. Fry for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on how thick the meat is.
  6. While the meat is cooking, slowly heat the hollandaise sauce in a small pan over a low heat.
  7. Arrange the meat on plates, pour over the hollandaise sauce and top with the caramelized onions and freshly chopped parsley.

Print Recipe

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • large pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pot

 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 160 grams pasta of your choice (I used Tagliatelle)
  • 4 mid-sized white onions
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150 grams fennel salsiccia
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 50 milliliter dry white wine
  • 100 milliliter heavy cream
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • parmesan, for topping
  • fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Peel the onions and cut them into thin half-rings. Set aside.
  • Remove the casing from the Salsiccia (or keep it on if it’s edible). Cut the sausage into small pieces and set aside.
  • Peel the garlic cloves. Set aside.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place a large pan over medium heat and add butter. Toss in the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let the onions cook down for about 15 minutes, until they’re soft and golden. Then, remove the onions from the pan.
  2. Put the pan back on the stove, add some olive oil, and heat it up. Add the Salsiccia, breaking it up with a wooden spoon so it resembles coarse ground meat. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the pieces are golden brown.
  3. Mix in smoked paprika, tomato paste, and oregano, and let it cook briefly until it smells fragrant. Add the garlic to the pan – either finely grate it or press it through a garlic press. Put the onions back in the pan and mix everything well. Now, deglaze with white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add balsamic vinegar and mustard. Pour in the cream and let it simmer on low heat. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Save a bit of the pasta water when draining. Add the pasta and some of the pasta water to the pan, tossing it all together until the creamy sauce coats the pasta. Serve on plates, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley.
