Use it up! Don't throw it in the bin!

I use whatever stock I have available :-) Just tastes slightly different. There again, I'm no expert. I work on trial and error ... and whatever is in the house that can be substituted :-) OH does eat everything I put in front of him!

there are loads of variations of sliced potato dishes that work well with all types of homemade stock - here's one of our favourites

wash and thinly slice some potatoes put in a pan and just cover with stock and simmer gently until nearly done but not breaking up. drain the potatoes keeping the stock and hard boil until it's going thick and syrupy, then add a splash or two of milk/cream/cremefraiche. Finely slice an onion. layer the onions and potatos in an ovenproof dish, pour over the milky stock (it shouldn't be enough to cover, just to moisten) dot with a bit of fat/shake over a bit of oil and finish off in the oven

this is the basic - you can add slices of loads of root veg - carrots/sweet potatoes/parsnips etc. etc, finely slice some celery if you like it, top with cheese/cheese-breadcrumb mix, include some slices of ham/corned beef etc. in the middle.
If you don't want to put the oven on you can do this using a frying pan on a very low heat - best with a lid or covered in foil.

This sounds delicious and something that can also be cooked in a Remoska. Thank you!

Thanks fairtrade,I will browse those recipes.

A remoska is a very low energy use cook pot, with the element in the lid, so arguably more versatile than a slo-cooker.
Lakeland sell them in this country:-http://www.lakeland.co.uk/remoska
There is a group on the forum who share their experiences:-

Hi Duckeggblue

Now you should have used up all your stock, so I have merged this with the leftovers thread
