👨‍🍳 Method

    Put the chicken, the onion, carrot, celery, parsley, peppercorns and salt and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam that rises during the first 15 minutes with a spoon.

  2. 2
    Turn down and simmer gently 2.5–3 hours.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Strain through a fine strainer and let cool.
    Fine sieve
  4. 4
    Lift off the layer of fat that has hardened on top of the cooled stock, divide into containers and freeze.
