Recipe review Chicken Stock Powder For Food's Sake page 25

[gertbysea]

Dear daughter Hally  so long as the flys cannot get into the oven and lay eggs as they do in Cairns  all will be good. Or you can take the chicken out now and remove the bits, stick it back into the STLILL WARM  oven and leave until morning.   We are looking for crispy  flaky here.

Your dear MUM.

[Halex]

OK mummy dearest, LOL

All back in oven, displayed nicely, oven off & wont touch until morning, PROMISE.

 

[gertbysea]

Such a good girl.

Nighty night.

Well, there's my daily laugh again - thanks Gretchen.  Oh, by the way on Easter Sunday I let my guests read your comment on the dried chillis - they all cracked up 

[Halex]

All done bar the dried onions, will add these today once bought.

Thank you Gert, mummy dearest

The  aroma is wonderful, next time it will be a cinch to do.

I made this in my Thermo Chef. I had roasted 2 chickens, so I doubled this recipe, but actually did it in two batches. I followed the recipe to a T, and did not make any modifications or adjustments to the instructions. It has turned out really well. So far,I have used it in risotto and a chicken and filo pie. I have even given some away to friends. No more bought chicken stock for me
The bonus is that I will have a lot of free space in my freezer as I won't bother to make chicken stock anymore.

I'm really wanting to make this but can't find celery seed anywhere. Please can somebody tell me where I should look? I've looked in woollies and my local asian shop so far.

[gertbysea]

It is a vey common herb, found with all the others in woollies or Coles in the dried herb and spice section in jars.  Where do you live? Any health food shops? Really I am surprised  woollies didn't have it.   You could leave it out or  use finally chopped celery leaves .

Well I thought it was common too which is why I'm confused. I looked high and low while I was in woollies but nothing. I have the woollies app and did a product search and it didn't come up. Very strange. We're in the Lockyer Valley, QLD.

I can't get them local either, so I order from here, a few pkts at a  time, and I think there is a minimum order amount if my memory is right (I think about $20), so if there's anything else you need get it all at the same time.  Have bought from them many times, very happy with their service.
Just an alternative if unable to source locally.

Celery seed is quite salty naturally…which is why it is included, but wouldnt be a train wreck if it was missed out….

 

[Brumington]

Thanks tenina. I bought some celery salt today. Would I be able to include that to provide the salty taste? If so, how much would I use?

[Brumington]

I'm pleased to say I found the celery seeds today in a health food shop.  I've spent the evening making this and the house smells gorgeous.  All finished, in the fridge.  I can't wait to start trying this in some of my dishes.  If it tastes anything like it smells I think this is going to be my secret ingredient in so many dishes.

Although some people in the above comments have said it sounds quite complicated, the process of making this is actually pretty simple, just a little time consuming. If you have nothing else to do though it's one of those tasks that can be doing in the background without much thought and attention.  Plus, like JD has said, it makes so much it's going to last for ages.

Well worth the effort in my opinion and I haven't even tasted it yet!

[Brumington]

I'm LOVING this stuff! Added a bit to fried rice today for lunch and then used some as a rub for steak. I think I'm going to be using this a lot.

Wow what an afternoon - after thinking the Thai cooking class was tomorrow (Thanks to my good friend for ringing me this morning) I am again inspired by Tenina. Since being home I have made this chicken stock powder and am really happy with the outcome. Mine is slightly moist but really tasty.
