Why Use a Thermomix for Bone Broth?

The Thermomix is a versatile kitchen appliance that can do almost anything from chopping and sautéing to steaming and blending. When it comes to making bone broth, its precise temperature control and ability to maintain a consistent simmer make it an excellent choice. Plus, it frees up your stovetop for other cooking tasks! 🌟

Ingredients You’ll Need 🥕

For a basic bone broth, gather the following ingredients:

– 1kg of bones (beef, chicken, or a combination)
– 2 carrots, chopped
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 1 onion, quartered
– 3 cloves of garlic
– A few sprigs of fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley)
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Water to cover

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Bone Broth

Step 1: Roast the Bones 🔥

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the bones on a baking tray and roast for about 30 minutes until they are nicely browned. This step adds depth and flavor to your broth.

Step 2: Prepare in the Thermomix

Transfer the roasted bones to your Thermomix bowl. Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, herbs, and apple cider vinegar. Fill with water until the ingredients are just covered.

Step 3: Cook the Broth ⏲️

Set your Thermomix to simmer at 90°C (194°F) for at least 4 hours. The slow and steady cooking will help extract all the beneficial nutrients from the bones. Feel free to extend the cooking time for a richer broth.

Step 4: Strain and Season

After cooking, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large container. Discard the solids. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.

Storing and Using Your Bone Broth

Once your broth has cooled, store it in airtight containers. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for several months. Bone broth can be enjoyed on its own as a warm, comforting drink or used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. 🥣

Conclusion and Tips

Making bone broth in a Thermomix is a straightforward process that yields a flavorful and nutritious result. Remember to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a broth that’s uniquely your own. Happy cooking! 👩‍🍳
