Mixed meat stock?

Fruball

I need to free up some space in my freezer and have some bones I was saving to make stock but don't really have enough of either to make a decent amount so I was wondering...

Would the flavour be good if I make stock from a mix of lamb and chicken bones to make soup?

If so, what other ingredients shall I use?

Thanks OSers :beer:

I honestly don't know. I would be interested to know how it turns out if you do try it though! You probably want to play to the lamb flavours, as they are strongest. I would probably add things like rosemary and garlic to the normal stock veggies.

Chicken stock tends to be bland, so you can combine it with something else. Lamb is stronger, although nothing like as strong as beef.

Add basic vegetables like sliced onion, carrots cut into large sticks, and a stick of celery. Herbs are a matter of taste, although parsley is usually a given.

Google stock recipes, and you'll find plenty of ideas.

i would just bung it all in together with trimmings of any veg u have and a bay leaf and make stock, freeze it and im sure it will be fine for normal family cooking as long as u dont expect the flavours to be refined

RESULT = The best stock I have ever made!!! I had a bowlful last night just as soup and it was delish!!!

I doubt I will ever do plain chicken stock again now.

Try it

Ooooh, fantastic! Glad it worked out. I shall have to have lamb soon so I can get some bones to add to the chicken bones in the freezer.
