Kittencals Homemade Pork Stock Recipes

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grease a large jelly-roll pan.
• Place the ribs on the pan and using a pastry brush, coat the ribs very lightly on both sides with tomato paste (do not use too much tomato paste just use enough to barely coat the ribs).
• Since there is a fair amount of ribs you might need to roast the ribs in 2 batches that is why I would advise you to do this a day or a few days ahead.
• Roast the ribs for about 25-30 minutes, then turn the ribs over and roast for another 25 minutes or until browned (careful not to burn).
• At this point you may refrigerate or freeze the ribs until ready to make the stock.
• Place the ribs in the stockpot along with all remaining ingredients.
• Pour in water to completely cover the ribs and to about three-quarters to the top of the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• As the broth comes to a simmer skim off any foam that has accumulated on top.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 4 hours, simmering at the barest possible simmer to avoid bruising the bones (you may simmer longer if desired).
• Remove the stockpot from the heat and allow to rest for about 1-1/2 hours.
• Ladle off and discard any fat that has accumulated on the top of the stock.
• Using long tongs remove the ribs from the pot (discard or save).
• Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and strain the stock into the bowl.
• Allow the stock to come to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze in 1 or 2-cup plastic containers.

Steps:

• Place the bones on a greased baking sheet and brush liberally with tomato paste (use only tomato paste not tomato sauce).
• Bake at 350 degrees F turning once during baking.
• Bake for about 25 minutes on each side or until browned.
• Place in the crock pot or large stock pot along with remaining ingredients, then add in enough water to cover.
• Cover and cook on low for 12-24 hours OR on HIGH for 6 hours (if cooked on high setting the stock will be lighter in color and less concentrated) or if cooking on the stove top simmer on lowest heat for about 4-6 hours.
• Remove from crock pot or stock pot; strain and refrigerate.
• The stock will keep well for 4-5 days or may be frozen.
• Note: veal bones may be replaced for beef bones.
• **Note** you may certainly use more than the amount stated for beef bones, the more used then the richer the stock.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine all ingredients except the meat; mix/whisk until very well combined.
• You may now transfer the marinade to a large resealable plastic bag if desired or leave in a large bowl.
• Pierce the meat all over with a fork.
• Add the meat to the marinade then turn to coat.
• Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove meat and discard the marinade.
• Leave the beef or the pork sit out on the counter and bring almost room temperature, this will relax the meat fibers and make for a more tender juicy steak or cut of beef or pork (this is a very important step!).
• Grill or oven-broil to desired doneness.

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces and/or carcass (or the turkey carcass) in an extra large stock pot, along with all remaining ingredients.
• Fill with cold water to cover ingredients, and up to almost three quarters of the stock pot.
• Place on stove element; cover and bring to a full boil.
• Reduce heat; simmer and remove any fat or scum that is floating on top of the water.
• At this point you can transfer to a crockpot.
• Simmer covered with a lid on low heat for about 4-5 hours for stove top (or 9-12 hours on LOW setting for a crockpot).
• Adjust salt to suit taste.
• After the 5-6 hours of simmering time turn off heat and allow the pot to sit until room temperature with all ingredients still in the pot, DO NOT REMOVE BONES OR VEGGIES.
• Transfer the pot to the fridge (with all ingredients still in it) and chill overnight.
• THE FOLLOWING DAY: Remove the pot from the fridge (mixture will be a jelly consistency).
• Remove any fat that has gathered on top.
• Heat again until just to a liquid (this will make it easier to strain).
• Remove all chicken pieces and strain in a large strainer, if desired you may strain again in a cheesecloth, but it is not necessary.
• Let cool completely and freeze in containers.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
• Coat the pork cubes in the flour mixture.
• Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat.
• Shake any excess flour off the pork.
• Brown on both sides in hot oil; remove to a bowl or large plate.
• Add in more olive oil if desired, then add in the onions, crushed chili flakes, thyme, bay leaves and oregano; saute for 5-6 minutes (adding the minced garlic the last 2 minutes).
• Add in the tomato paste; stir using a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes.
• Add in the wine; bring to a boil; simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add in beef broth or consomme, water, Worcestershire sauce, diced tomatoes with juice and button mushrooms, and return the pork back to the pot, stir with a wooden spoon; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer COVERED for 1 hour on low heat, stirring occasionally.
• After about 1 hour of cooking, uncover and let simmer over low heat (UNCOVERED) for about 1 more hour or until the pork is tender, stirring occasionally, and seasoning with salt to taste.
• Skim any fat that has accumulated on top of the juice in the pot.
• Ladle the pork and juices over cooked rigatoni or penne pasta in bowls, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Delicious!
