It’s like a floatie for your broth and trust me, it makes everything taste better. So let’s roll up those sleeves and get cooking!

Clarifying Stock - with an egg raft

To clarify your stock is to embrace a culinary zen! When you use an egg raft, you’re not only making your broth crystal clear but also adding a unique flavor that’s simply delightful. Let’s gather our ingredients and get started.

Delicious Clarifying Stock with Egg Raft ### Ingredients:

2 quarts of chicken broth
1 large egg white
1 whole egg
1 cup of finely chopped vegetables (carrots, celery, onions work best)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a herby kick

Instructions:

Start by pouring your chicken broth into a large pot, then bring it to a gentle simmer.
While your broth is heating up, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites until they become frothy. This is where the magic begins!
Add the whole egg and mix in those finely chopped veggies. It’s like a little party in a bowl!
Once your broth is simmering, gently pour the egg mixture into the pot. Stir it cautiously and watch as it forms a ‘raft’ on top—this is the cool part!
Let it simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, the egg raft will capture impurities from the broth, clearing it up beautifully.
After simmering, gently ladle the clear broth out from beneath the raft. Be sure to avoid disturbing it too much; we want that clarity!
Season your stock with salt and pepper to taste and add those fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy.
Voila! You now have a wonderfully clear and delicious chicken stock perfect for soups, sauces, or just sipping on when you’re feeling under the weather!

Enjoy your frothy, flavorful creation! And remember, in the world of broth, it’s not just what you throw in, it’s also about the magical transformations that happen along the way. Now go ahead, impress your friends, and become the stock superstar you were destined to be!
