Veal Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Put everything into a large saucepan and cover with 3 litres of cold water. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 mins-1 hr or until the liquid reduces by two-thirds to around 1 litre. Cool for 10 mins, then strain into a jug and cool. The stock can be made ahead and chilled or frozen for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rinse the veal bones and pat them dry; toss the bones with the oil. In a deep roasting pan, add the veal bones and roast, turning occasionally, until the bones begin to brown, about 30 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic to the pan, toss well and continue to roast, turning occasionally, until deeply browned, about 40 minutes more.
• Using tongs, transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot and add the veal meat. Pour off and discard any excess oil from the roasting pan and place the pan over medium heat. When hot, pour in 1 1/2 cups water, scrape up any brown drippings from the bottom of the pan and add the water mixture to the stockpot. Wrap the cloves, thyme, bay leaf, parsley and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth and add the bundle to the stockpot. Add 6 quarts (24 cups) cold water.
• Over medium heat, slowly bring the stock to a simmer; this will take about 45 minutes. Skim off any fat or foam that rises to the surface. Continue to simmer the stock slowly, uncovered, for 6 hours, skimming as needed.
• Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer and discard the solids. To cool, pour the stock into a large kettle and place the kettle in a sink filled with cold water. Stir the stock occasionally. If the water in the sink becomes too warm, drain and refill with cold water. When the stock is completely cooled, pour into individual containers, cover them and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Before using, remove and discard the layer of congealed fat. Stock will keep refrigerated up to 3 days and frozen up to 6 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make a bouquet garni: Tie rosemary, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a small piece of cheesecloth; set aside.
• Arrange the meat and veal bones in a single layer in a heavy roasting pan, and place in the oven. Roast, turning several times, until they turn deep brown, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven, and place onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, garlic, tomato paste, and chopped tomatoes on top of the bones. Reduce heat to 375 degrees, return the pan to the oven, and roast until vegetables are brown, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer bones, meat, and vegetables, to a large stockpot; set aside. Discard the fat from the roasting pan; set pan on the stove over high heat. Add wine, and stir using a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits from bottom of pan. Boil until wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes; add to stockpot.
• Add 4 quarts cold water to stockpot, water should just cover bones; cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer; skim foam that rises to surface. Add bouquet garni. Cook 8 to 10 hours, skimming frequently. Add more water if at any time the surface level drops below the bones.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Strain stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl, and set the bowl in the ice-water bath. When cool, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Discard the layer of fat on stock.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a roasting pan, arrange the veal bones in a single layer, then drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the bones in the lower part of the oven, flip after 20 to 30 minutes and remove from the oven after 40 minutes to 1 hour, when the bones are golden brown.
• Smear the tomato paste over the bones with a spoon. Add the carrots, celery, onion, leeks, and garlic. Return to oven and roast for 1 additional hour.
• Into a large stockpot, add the roasted bones, roasted vegetables, thyme, rosemary, and parsley and 16 cups of water. Discard fat from roasting pan. Place roasting pan directly onto stovetop and heat on medium for 1 minute. Remove from heat and immediately add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water to the roasting pan, scraping up the brown bits. Add the deglazed liquid to the stockpot. Bring the liquid to a tremble (190 degrees F), and simmer for 8 hours, skimming and discarding the froth frequently during the first hour.
• Pour the stock in batches through a large fine sieve and discard the solids. Skim off the fat. (Alternatively, cool the stock, uncovered, and chill, covered. Scrape away and discard congealed fat from the chilled stock.) Gently simmer the stock, skimming the froth occasionally, until it is reduced to about 4 cups, about 1 hour. Before storing the stock cool it completely, about 1 hour, uncovered. Stock keeps, 1 week when covered and chilled or, 3 months when frozen in airtight containers,
• When roasting the bones, you'll know it's time to add the vegetables when they're an irresistible golden brown color, almost caramelized by the glistening fat. You can't get any better than that!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Arrange veal bones in 1 layer in an oiled large roasting pan and roast in middle of oven, turning once or twice, until browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Transfer bones with tongs to a tall, narrow 7- to 8-quart stockpot and add 4 quarts water. Discard fat from roasting pan, then immediately add 1/2 cup water to hot pan, stirring and scraping up brown bits, and add to stockpot. Bring liquid to a tremble (bare simmer; about 190°F) and cook, skimming froth frequently during first hour, about 10 hours (use a flame tamer for lowest heat if necessary).
• While stock is cooking, wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well. Oil roasting pan again and spread leeks, carrots, onions, and celery in 1 layer. Roast in middle of oven, stirring once or twice, until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl and immediately add remaining 1/2 cup water to hot pan, stirring and scraping up brown bits, then add to stockpot. Cool vegetables and chill, covered.
• Add roasted vegetables and remaining ingredients to stockpot for last 2 hours of cooking.
• Remove bones with tongs and discard. Pour stock in batches through a large fine sieve into a 4-quart pot, discarding solids. Cool stock, uncovered, and chill, covered, then scrape congealed fat from chilled stock. If you end up with more than 8 cups stock, simmer it, skimming froth, to reduce. If you have less, add water.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 500°F Place the veal bones in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coarsely chop 1 of the onion. Stud the other whole onion with the cloves.
• Remove the pan from the oven and distribute the carrots, chopped and whole onion, celery, garlic and tomato paste evenly over the veal bones. Return to the oven and roast until the vegetables are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer all the contents of the roasting pan to a stockpot. Add the Bouquet garni and peppercorns. Discard the fat from the roasting pan and place the pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, andd the water and deglaze the pan by stirring to dislodge any browned bits from the pan bottom. Pour the liquid into the stockpot.
• Add water to the stockpot just to cover the ingredients. Bring to a boil and , using a large spoon or wire skinner, skim off any foam that forms on top. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 3 hours. Continue to skim off any foam that floats to the top during simmering.
• Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean container. Discard the contents of the sieve.
• Use immediately or let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month in small freezer bags. Lift off any solidified fat from the surface of the chilled stock before using.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (204 C) and place a heavy roasting pan or 2 in the oven.
• When the pan is heated, add the oil and the veal bones tossing lightly to coat.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast the bones stirring occasionally until just golden brown. Remove bones and set aside.
• In the same roasting pan, brown the onions and carrots. Continue to cook until the vegetables are golden brown. If the sucs at the bottom of the pan are browning too rapidly, add a little cold water to the pan.
• In a large sautoir or rondeau, heat some vegetable oil and sweat the leek greens and celery until they start to develop color. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until the some more color develops.
• Pour off the fat from the roasting pan and deglaze the pan with a wooden spoon and some water. Pour these juices into the large stockpot. Do not use if the pan scrapings are too dark or you will have a burnt tasting stock.
• Place the bones and vegetables in the stock pot and cover with cold water. Bring up to a boil.
• Reduce to simmer and skim well.
• Add the tomatoes and garlic, and bouquet garni.
• Simmer low for 8-12 hours, skimming often and checking the activity of the water. Do not allow to boil, but try to keep the water moving through a low simmer. If too much evaporation occurs, add some cold water to the pot to cover the bones.
• Strain the stock carefully and cool in an ice bath skimming well. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and lightly oil 2 large shallow roasting pans.
• Remove meat from bones where possible and cut into 1-inch pieces. If using breast bones, cut apart. In roasting pans arrange bones and meat in one layer and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching pans halfway through roasting, until bones are golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Into a 14-quart stockpot put bones, meat, and 8 quarts water. (Alternatively, divide bones, meat, and 8 quarts water between two 7- to 8-quart kettles.) Discard fat from roasting pans. Immediately add 1/2 cup water to each pan, scraping up brown bits, and add to stockpot or kettles. Bring liquid to a tremble, about 190°F., and cook at 190°F. (skim froth frequently during first hour of cooking) 12 to 14 hours.
• While stock is cooking, separately cut carrots, onions, and white and pale green parts of leeks into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a colander to drain. In an oiled large shallow roasting pan arrange carrots, onions, and leeks in one layer and roast in middle of oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool vegetables and chill, covered.
• Add roasted vegetables and remaining ingredients to stock during last 2 hours of cooking.
• Pour stock in batches through a large fine sieve into an 8-quart kettle and discard solids. Skim off fat. (Alternatively, cool stock, uncovered, and chill, covered. Scrape congealed fat from chilled stock.) Gently simmer stock, skimming froth occasionally, until reduced to about 2 quarts, about 1 hour. Cool stock, uncovered, and chill, covered. Stock keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week or, frozen in airtight containers, 3 months. If desired, pour cooled stock into ice-cube trays with 1-ounce cups and freeze. Frozen cubes keep in heavy-duty sealable plastic bags 3 months.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a kettle and cook three to six hours or until the liquid is reduced to about three cups.
• Line a sieve with cheesecloth and strain the stock. Carefully skim or pour off all trace of fat. Cook the clear broth until reduced to two cups.
