Fond Blanc Chicken Stock

Fond Blanc Chicken Stock in a pressure cooker
Fond Blanc - or Fond Blanc Ordinaire - is French for ordinary white stock - so this version is a chicken stock that you would use in places where a darker 'Fond Brun' or roasted stock would have a flavour that's too overpowering.

Ingredients:
3lb (1.5 kg) chicken bones and/or pieces
1 large onion, quartered
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
10 black peppercorns
10 cups (2.5L) cold water

Method:
Add all the ingredients to the cooking bowl.
Select pressure cook.
When cooking has completed, release pressure then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
Chill immediately.
Remove hardened fat layer and use elsewhere.
Use immediately or freeze for up to 1 month.


Makes 10 cups (2.5L)
