This months recipe is a Gut Healing Bone Broth
Bone broth has become really popular lately and with good reason, dating back to pre-historic times, it is highly nutritious, rich in minerals and it is now believed that it is brilliant for aiding digestion. Bone broth protects and heals the mucosal lining of the digestive tract, allowing food to move through more easily and It is also believed that bone broth may heal and prevent a condition known as leaky gut which is when the barrier between your gut and bloodstream is impaired – leaky gut is often associated with several chronic diseases such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, arthritis, asthma, acne, obesity and even mental illness.
Ingredients:
- 4 pounds beef bones
- 2 medium unpeeled carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium leek, end trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 1 garlic head, halved crosswise
- 2 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Method:
- Preheat oven to 230c. Place beef bones, carrots, leek, onion, and garlic on a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- Toss the contents of the pan and continue to roast until deeply browned, about 20 minutes more.
- Fill a large (at least 6-quart) stockpot with 12 cups of water (preferably filtered) . Add celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, and vinegar. Add the roasted bones and vegetables into the pot along with any juices. Add more water if necessary to cover bones and vegetables.
- Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook with lid slightly ajar, skimming foam and excess fat occasionally, for at least 8 but up to 24 hours on the stovetop. The longer you simmer it, the better your broth.
