Notes
Omit beef/chicken/fish if want a vegetarian stock.
I do not use any other herbs such as parsley, thyme on the broth instead add them to the dish I am preparing with the broth on a need basis.
Broth can be kept in freezer for up to three months.
The meat can be removed from bones and used in various other dishes such as salads, kabab, etc.
