Serves : Makes about 1.75 litres (7 cups)


Ingredients :

  • 1 kg (2 lb) stewing veal
  • 1 - 1.5 kg (2-3 lb) veal bones, in small pieces, optional
  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 1 large carrot
  • 2 celery sticks
  • 1 large bouquet garni
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 8 peppercorns
  • 2 cloves
  • ½ head of garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 2.25 litres (10 cups) water
  • salt


Preparation and Cooking Instructions :

  1. Place the veal and bones, if using, in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Drain and rinse out the pan. Return the veal and bones to the pan, add the remaining ingredients, with salt to taste, and bring to the boil. Skim the surface, cover and simmer for 3-4 hours, skimming occasionally.
  2. Cool slightly, then strain. Taste, and if a more concentrated flavor is required, boil until the stock is slightly reduced. Cool quickly, then skim any fat from the surface.
  3. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Use as required.
