Old School
Since I am unable to work I have time to do things I enjoy. Not just do them, but do them right.
Nothing excessive but maybe things that I would normally take a shortcut with, I now do by hand. Take stock.
I have no problem with commercial 'stock in a box'. It is a wonderful emergency substitute. However being a commercial product a lot of it has chemical preservatives. Not to mention LOADS of salt.
In my freezer I keep chicken, pork and beef stock. Made by me. The result is a salt free, almost fat free pot of flavor.
It is a low and slow process that takes several hours, when done right. Now everything you cook with it rises to another luscious level.
Take last nights dinner. Biscuits and sausage gravy. I usually make it with a base of soy milk and a little cream. As I was out of soy milk I subbed pork stock. I finished the gravy off with some black pepper and a splash of cream.
The end result is a revved up flavor profile that Left Charles saying 'REAL good' over and over!
That's my job done!
