Basic Chicken Stock Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

4 lb chicken backs and necks
4 qt cold water
1 yellow onion, unpeeled, and
coarsely chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
1 bay leaf
2 whole black peppercorns
1 fresh thyme sprig
1 slice lemon
4 fresh parsley sprigs

Recipe Instructions:

Rinse the chicken under cold running water and place in the stockpot. Add the cold water to cover. Slowly bring to a gentle boil. Skim the surface of the water as the foam rises to the top. When the foam subsides, add all the remaining ingredients. Cook at a simmer, with the lid slightly ajar, for 2 hours.

Remove the pot from the heat. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the pieces of chicken. Strain the stock and pour into quart-sized containers. Cool. Cover and refrigerate. Skim any fat that accummulates on the top. The stock will keep in the refrigerator for three days. It may be frozen for later use.

This recipe yields 3 quarts.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
