Recipe Tips
For a richer broth, try adding a few tablespoons of tomato paste or a few tablespoon of fish sauce. You can also use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the broth. Some of my favorite combinations include rosemary, sage, and thyme.
If you don't have time to let the broth cook for 8 to 12 hours, you can try using a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker can reduce the cooking time to just a few hours, allowing you to make a delicious bone broth much faster.
If you don't have a crock pot or a pressure cooker, you can also make bone broth in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place all the ingredients in a large roasting pan. Cover and bake for 3 to 4 hours, or until the bones are very tender. Then strain the broth into a large bowl and let cool before storing.
