Chicken Stock (specially for babies) | Makes about 3 1/2 cups
As a rule, babies can begin to have chicken flavour introduced into their diet from six months of age onwards. It usually begins with stock added to food and then some finely minced chicken.
It is very simple to make a batch of your own chicken stock to use as a light, tasty base for any baby or toddler recipes where stock is needed. You can buy chicken bones at most poultry shops and some supermarkets. The stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for up to two months.
500 grams chicken bones, well rinsed
4 cups water
1 carrot, roughly chopped
some parsley stalks
1 stalk celery, cut into a few chunks
| | Place everything into a saucepan, cover and simmer gently for one hour, stirring once or twice. Remove from the heat, strain and let cool to tepid before storing for 4 days refrigerated or 2 months frozen. Don’t worry about the fat that may form. This helps to preserve the stock and can be easily removed once the stock is chilled.
