- Preheat the oven to 200 ºC. Then, place the bones in a baking dish and bake for half an hour.
- Place them in a pot and fill with cold water.
- Next, bring the pot to boiling temperature and then reduce to a simmer and let it cook well. The longer you leave it, the thicker it will become.
- During cooking, you can also add the vegetables (during the last hour), to add flavor and nutritional value to the broth.
- When it is cooked, remove the foam and excess fat with a strainer. Also remove the bones and strain the broth into an airtight container. You can use it immediately, or let it cool and keep it in the refrigerator for three or four days. You also have the option of freezing it.
