Method

  1. Step 1

    Put the chicken in the cold water, bring slowly to a simmer and skim off the foam carefully.

  2. Step 2

    Add the carrots (opens in a new tab), parsnip (opens in a new tab), celeriac (opens in a new tab), leek (opens in a new tab), charred onion (opens in a new tab), bay, allspice (opens in a new tab), peppercorns and salt. Simmer very gently, barely bubbling, uncovered.

    • 150 min
    • low heat

    A rolling boil makes the broth cloudy.

  3. Step 3

    Strain the broth. Slice the carrots (opens in a new tab) and pull the chicken from the bones.

    Food safety: Cool leftover broth quickly and refrigerate within 2 hours.
