Brown Chicken Stock

by Shavon

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

Bones, wings, and scraps of 3 whole chickens, excess fat removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 onions, coarsely chopped
4 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 bunch parsley stems
2 tablespoons tomato paste

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil until smoking. Add the chicken bones and scraps and brown all over, stirring to avoid burning. Remove the chicken parts and reserve. Add the carrots, onions and celery and cook until soft and browned. Return the chicken bones to the pot and add 3 quarts of water, the tomato paste, peppercorns, and parsley, stirring to dislodge the browned chicken and vegetables bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring almost to a boil, reduce to a simmer and allow to cook at a low simmer for 2 hours, until reduced by half, occasionally skimming excess fat. After cooking, remove from heat and strain out all solids, pressing them with the bottom of a ladle to extract out all liquids.
