Ingredients

▢ 4 pounds lamb bones and trimmings
▢ 2½ to 3 quarts water
▢ 4 ounces onion (quartered, no need to peel)
▢ 4 ounces carrots (cut into 2-inch pieces)
▢ 4 ounces celery (cut into 2-inch pieces)
▢ 1 sprig thyme

Instructions

Slow Cooker Instructions

Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
Once the stock is done, strain the liquids from the solids using a fine mesh sieve.
Let the stock cool. Cover and refrigerate. Skim off any accumulated fat on top before using.

Stockpot Instructions

Place lamb bones in a large stockpot. Pour enough water to completely submerge the bones.
Over medium heat, bring to a rapid simmer and immediately reduce heat to a low simmer. Skim off any scum that forms before adding vegetables and herbs.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a very low simmer. Cover, and continue simmering for at least 4 hours - up to 10.
Strain the broth through a fine sieve, discarding the bone and vegetables. Let cool. Chill and skim off fat.

TOP TIPS: Save lamb bones (raw or roasted) from your recipe and freeze until you have accumulated enough to make this recipe; do not boil the broth.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Use your homemade lamb stock in any recipe that calls for lamb broth, bone broth, or stock. It works wonders in soups, stews, casseroles, and gravy. Use it as the liquid when cooking vegetables, making rice, or risotto. Make Lamb Stew and Shepherd's Pie with it.
