About Our Soup Bones
Soup bones are the quiet secret behind a good pot. Cut on the bandsaw from the leg and marrow-rich sections, they cost next to nothing and give you a broth with body, colour and a depth of flavour you cannot buy in a cube. The marrow melts into the liquid, the collagen sets it to a wobble in the fridge, and the scraps of meat left on the bone go into the soup.
Roast them first for a darker, richer stock, or go straight into the pot for a lighter broth. This is the base for a Kenyan bone soup, for a stock to build the week's cooking on, and for stretching a stew further. If you want more meat with your gelatine, look at our ox tail and trotters.
How to Cook Soup Bones
- Roast the bones at 220C for 30 minutes first for a deeper, darker stock.
- Simmer for at least three hours with onion, ginger and a little salt; skim the top.
- The stock will set solid in the fridge - that is pure gelatine, exactly what you want.
- Scoop the marrow onto toast, or stir it back into the soup.
- Freeze the finished stock in portions.
