Hmmmmmmm! Bought a bag of “chicken frames” carrot onion leek celery swede parsley & thyme.
Just turned the heat off under the chicken stock I started about 12.20. I had added some peppercorns, 3-4 cloves and one cardamom pod,
Had a taste. Oh my, savory, spicy (bit bland, no salt, I think this should be added when making {whatever}) yet nice supporting note from the veg. I added about all the leaves from the celery because they have so much fucking flavor! In contrast—I only added the stems of the parsley—the leaves are just for decoration, a slight fresh note.
Now—what will I make from this tasty tasty stock? Ministrone? Hmmm!
I also bought kaesler chops. These cured pork chops can be eaten as–is. No fun—fry in apple butter, oh yeah!
