What to do with left over veg/bones from stock?
« on: May 08, 2012, 06:02:53 am »
Hi,
I've just made some liquid chicken stock for tonight's chowder but I have the vegies (onion, garlic, celery, bay leaf, pepper and carrots) and chicken carcass and I hate to just throw it out. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could I whizz it all up and give it to the dog or should I just compost the vegies and chuck the bones?
Thanks,
Kerryn

I put my leftover vegies excluding onions into the worm farm. Unfortunately any leftover bones and onions can't go in the worm farm as it attracts rodents and worms are unable to tolerate onions for some reason! You could make the chicken carcass into the roast chicken powder in For Foods sake.

If someone could pm me the recipe for the stock powder I'd love to give it a go.

I grind it all and give it to the dogs with other things I make for them. I try to take the the onions out though. My dogs love all veggies.
