Is all bone broth created equally? Turns out, nope it’s not.
I had the good fortune of meeting Chef Lance at a holiday party thrown by our mutual friend, JJ Virgin. He was serving warmed shots of bone broth in various, interesting flavors. Of course I had to sample everything, and while I did he opened my eyes to the process of creating bone broth from scratch. The passion in his voice was contagious! When he offered to send more of his bone broth in the mail I knew that I’d have fun coming up with some bone-broth-centric recipes.
This first bone broth recipe actually comes from Chef Lance himself, with a few minor tweaks on my end since I can’t ever leave well enough alone :) This is a tender take on Brussels Sprouts, infusing flavorful nutrients into each plump bite by simmering in bone broth. Ground turmeric adds pretty color and a host of nutritional benefits as well.
Make tons, these keep well in the fridge for the better part of a week.
