Aromatic herbs, vegetables, and spices.

With a few simple add-ons, you can transform your basic bone broth into a flavourful and nutrient-rich concoction that will leave your taste buds singing. Here are some ideas to take your bone broth to the next level:

THE BONE BROTH ADD-ONS

1. Fresh Herbs: Add a burst of freshness by tossing in a handful of fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or dill. These herbs not only enhance the aroma but also contribute a vibrant taste to your broth.

2. Spices and Seasonings: Sprinkle in some spices and seasonings to bring depth and complexity to your bone broth. Consider options like cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, or even a pinch of cayenne for a subtle kick.

3. Garlic and Ginger: Infuse your bone broth with a delightful zing by adding crushed garlic cloves and sliced ginger. These aromatic ingredients not only enhance the flavour but also offer numerous health benefits.

4. Soy Sauce or Tamari: For an umami-rich profile, a splash of soy sauce or tamari can do wonders. These fermented sauces add a savoury depth that takes your bone broth to a whole new level.

5. Dried Mushrooms: Boost the earthy tones of your broth with dried mushrooms like shiitake or porcini. These fungi add a rich and complex flavour profile, making your bone broth truly extraordinary.

6. Fish Sauce or Anchovy Paste: If you’re looking to infuse a unique savoury note, a small amount of fish sauce or anchovy paste can work wonders. These ingredients lend a distinctive umami taste that enhances the overall depth of your broth.
