Stock take!
Every day when I cook, I throw my chops and entrails (veggies only!) into a big old freezer bag.
For meat and fish versions, just add whole chicken carcass or prawn heads and tails… or both.. depends on how carnivorous your household is!
When that bag is full, I throw it’s contents into a ziplock bag and just keep adding to it until said bag is full.
Once full, I throw it all into a large slow cooker with some water (and herbs from the garden) a pinch of salt, a generous amount of black and white pepper.
Leave to go to work for the day, come home to an awesome homemade stock.
Ready to be used in soups, curries, anything that requires boiled water.
Healthy, cheap and economic.
All leftover cooked bits can be thrown into your compost bin (best to remove ’bits’ before adding salt if you plan to compost)
EDIT -
Whenever I am at the coast, I buy fresh prawns and fish and use the heads, tails and shells to add to this mix for a fish stock and this is AMAZING.
