Ingredients :
2 lbs of lamb bones (here : shoulder)
16 cups of water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 onion
2-3 sticks of celery
2 carrots
* any other vegetables you have that are starting to die in your fridge can be used here. I had some left over parsnips that made it in.
peppercorns (about a tea spoon)
salt to taste
*any herbs you want to use. I had some parsley and watercress. They tend to make the stock cloudy but I don't care.

yes, sorry to burst your bubble, but not all of us are the products of dysfunctional families or shut ins.

1. You'll want to roast the bones if they didn't cook along with their meat already. Pre-heat the oven to 375F.

3. Put at the bottom of a large stock pot. Cover with the water and add the vinegar. Let stand (no heat) for about 30 minutes.

4. Add the vegetables and peppercorns. Cut the vegetables coarsely, you'll be discarding them at the end anyways.

5. Bring to a simmer (not a boil) and allow to cook for several hours. Add the herbs once the bone joints start falling apart exposing the marrow. (about 5-6 hours).

6. Allow the herbs to seep in for 20-30 minutes. Then strain everything, add salt, if you want to. Allow to cool fully. The fat will rise to the top and can be discarded. The stock will set into a gelatinous mass and can be kept in the fridge for about 3 days or frozen.

Used it the next day to cook the farro in this...

Nice image. Did you use a webtool or nifty program to make this?

>>7201734
Adobe InDesign is my tool of choice for those.

You can get the same results with Gimp and lots of cursing if you want a free software.

>>7201742
>Adobe
>Not free

Thank Jesus for the internet, huh?

>>7201763
Yup. Some people get upset if you just outright propose they might be pirates, however. ;-)

Hence the freeware option of plausible deniability.

>discarded
you misspelled "saved and used for something else"

>>7202422
Whatever floats your boat. While I save and reuse duck or bacon fat I have no use for about two tea spoon of lamb grease.

>>7201742
It's not really Gimp's fault if you're unable to get used to a slightly different interface. Lining up images and text boxes isn't exactly rocket science either.

>>7201763
InDesign is not free software.

>>7202446
It is more cumbersome then proper layout software.

morning bump for OC.

what do you use lamb stock for?

wish i could see your xmas creations

>>7203449
I used it the same I use chicken broth or stock ;-)

Would have been fantastic in soup too.

>>7203465
