A wonderful beef broth rich in flavors and nutrients. While cooking, the bones release substances that are important for healing and restoring the intestine lining. The broth is very important as part of a natural treatment for Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Sibo, Gastritis, Diverticulitis and IBS.
Ingredients:
2-3kg of beef thigh bones without meat (bone marrow/joints),
water,
vegetables and herbs: 1-2 carrots, 1-2 zucchini, 300 gram of pumpkin, parsley root, celery, dill, coriander.
Spices: 1 table spoon of Atlantic/Himalayansalt, 3-4 bay leaves, 1 table spoon of thyme, turmeric.
A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or juice from half a lemon.
Instructions:
Wash the bones, place them in a wide pot, preferably with a thick bottom, heat on the gas (or in the oven) for about 15 minutes. Cover with water and bring to the boil, then pour it, and add new clean water and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.
At this stage, you can place the pot in the oven at 110 degrees and cook for a minimum of 8 hours and up to 20 hours.
Towards the end of the cooking, add the greens and the vegetables and continue cooking
until they soften.
Important note:
After cooling in the fridge, remove the layer of fat that accumulates on top of the broth. You can freeze the fat separately, if you want to use it to enrich other foods.
You can replace the beef bones with whole organic turkey or chicken throats. In this case, the cooking time is shortened:
Chicken - 3-4 hours.
Turkey - 4-5 hours .
Fish bones : You can use fish heads and bones to make broth from them. The cooking time of the fish bones is up to 2 hours
Be aware that during cooking, the fish bones soften and can even fall apart.
