Bone broth is a great staple to have on hand all winter long. Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones for 24 to 48 hours on low heat. The extended cooking time allows the bones to release collagen, gelatin, minerals, and amino acids. The result is healthy and tasty. Here are some ideas on how to upgrade your dishes with nourishing broth.  

Risottos and Rice Dishes

Swap water with bone broth when cooking risotto or any rice-based dish. It adds a savory depth that complements the grains perfectly.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Replace part of the milk or cream with bone broth while making mashed potatoes. It won’t be any less creamy but will add a savory note and extra nutrients to your favorite potato recipe.

Flavourful Vegetable Steaming

When steaming vegetables, substitute water with bone broth. It imparts a savory taste and retains more nutrients.

Soups Beyond the Usual

Experiment with unique soups like leek and potato, tomato basil, or butternut squash, using bone broth as the base for added depth.

Steamy Ramen Upgrade

Make your quick dinner a bit healthier with this trick. Instead of water, cook your ramen noodles in bone broth. It enhances the flavor and adds depth to your favorite ramen recipe.
