Bouillon Cubes

No one likes bland food. That’s why herbs and spices and things like bouillon cubes exist. But, have you looked at the sodium content in bouillon powders?! Yikes! Just 1/2 a tablet (950 mg of sodium) accounts for 40% of your daily value (and that’s calculated on a 2000 calorie diet). Health Canada recommends a sodium intake of 1500 mg/day.

Those who are concerned about the ingredients used in making stock cubes. You know, some of us really want to know what we put in our mouth and there are lots of chemical ingredients added to stock cubes. If you are one of those people, you need to start making your own stock cubes.

But, you don’t have to sacrifice taste in exchange for low sodium. You can make your own chicken bouillon powder in just a few minutes.

Ingredients for Homemade Stock Cubes

For basic homemade stock cubes prepared without vegetables, only beef/chicken, visit the Basic Homemade Stockcubes page.

For chicken flavoured homemade stock cubes, you will need:

500g Chicken bones or minced chicken breast
3 leeks (or 6 Spring onions)
1 onion
3 big carrots
Salt to taste (optional)
For fish flavoured homemade stock cubes, you will need:

3 Mackerel/Titus heads
1 leek (or 2 spring onions)
1 onion
3 big carrots
Salt to taste (optional)
For beef flavoured homemade stock cubes, you will need:

500g of cow ribs (costilla de tenera/vaca in Spanish)
3 leek (or 6 spring onions)
1 onion
3 big carrots
Salt to taste (optional)
For vegetable homemade stock cubes:

Here, you will need to use your favourite vegetables and herbs. Cut them up, put them in a pot, add vegetable oil and salt and cook till they are very soft. Blend and pass through a sieve then pour in ice cube trays and freeze.

 Bouillon Cubes

Vegetables and herbs you can use include:

Leeks (or spring onions)
Onions
Carrots
Scent leaves or parsley
Garlic
Ginger
Basil
Rosemary
Notes on the ingredients

Leeks are root vegetables that belong to the same family as onions. They look like giant spring onions. They are not common in Nigeria so use spring onions as alternative.
Where I live, I buy chicken bones from the chicken sellers. They usually take out the chicken breast and the remaining bone still has enough meat for you to make your stock cubes with.
You can add salt when making your stock cubes but I usually prepare mine without salt.
I don’t use the very green parts of leek because it makes the stock cubes taste so “green” that my food tastes almost bitter.
I use cow ribs for my beef flavoured stock cubes because this part of beef is very tasty, contains bones and some natural oils, perfect for making stock cubes. So you get all the benefits by using this part of beef.

Procedure

The directions described here is for making chicken flavoured stock cubes in your home but the same procedure applies to beef flavoured and fish flavoured homemade stock cubes.

Cut up the chicken and vegetables into small pieces.
Put everything in a pot, add water to half the level of the contents of the pot and cook on medium to high heat for 45 minutes or till everything is soft and tender.
Set aside to cool down completely.
Remove the bones from the chicken.
Blend the chicken and vegetables.
Strain with a sieve to remove all traces of bones and other particles that did not blend well.
Pour into ice cube trays and place in the freezer overnight.
Once frozen, bring out from the ice cube trays and put in a container with a cap.
Cover and put back in the freezer. That’s it!
Add to your cooking as you would use store-bought stock cubes.

Survival Food Prepping Ideas/ULTIMATE Top Skills 2017

Discover how to survive: Most complete survival tactics, tips, skills and ideas like how to make pemmican, snow shoes, knives, soap, beer, smoke houses, bullets, survival bread, water wheels, herbal poultices, Indian round houses, root cellars, primitive navigation, and much more at: The Lost Ways

Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll find in The Lost Ways:

From Ruff Simons, an old west history expert and former deputy, you’ll learn the techniques and methods used by the wise sheriffs from the frontiers to defend an entire village despite being outnumbered and outgunned by gangs of robbers and bandits, and how you can use their wisdom to defend your home against looters when you’ll be surrounded.

Native American ERIK BAINBRIDGE – who took part in the reconstruction of the native village of Kule Loklo in California, will show you how Native Americans build the subterranean roundhouse, an underground house that today will serve you as a storm shelter, a perfectly camouflaged hideout, or a bunker. It can easily shelter three to four families, so how will you feel if, when all hell breaks loose, you’ll be able to call all your loved ones and offer them guidance and shelter? Besides that, the subterranean roundhouse makes an awesome root cellar where you can keep all your food and water reserves year-round.

From Shannon Azares you’ll learn how sailors from the XVII century preserved water in their ships for months on end, even years and how you can use this method to preserve clean water for your family cost-free.

Mike Searson – who is a Firearm and Old West history expert – will show you what to do when there is no more ammo to be had, how people who wandered the West managed to hunt eight deer with six bullets, and why their supply of ammo never ran out. Remember the panic buying in the first half of 2013? That was nothing compared to what’s going to precede the collapse.

From Susan Morrow, an ex-science teacher and chemist, you’ll master “The Art of Poultice.” She says, “If you really explore the ingredients from which our forefathers made poultices, you’ll be totally surprised by the similarities with modern medicines.” Well…how would you feel in a crisis to be the only one from the group knowledgeable about this lost skill? When there are no more antibiotics, people will turn to you to save their ill children’s lives.
