When we can’t be as picky on certain cuts in the store due to prices or if we are buying bulk quarters or half’s of whole animals, we are going to end up with a lot more bone in cuts. So many recipes call or we just prefer boneless meat for certain dishes.

This recipe above uses the left over bones and meat bits to make a lovely soup with, the key take aways are simple, don’t long simmer your bones with the meat on.. instead deep roast them till lots of lovely brown bits on the bone, then remove that tender roasted meat for adding at the last moments of the dish to reheat, then use the bones, and that pan deglaze to add depth of flavor and mouth feel to the end soup dish itself.

Ideally you want to plan your bone roasting to go with something else so you are not heating your oven just for this or do remember that a smaller Toaster Oven is a excellent choice to save power costs as you are heating a much smaller oven while still having all the benefits of using a oven.

Last but not least, while this style does work better with med to larger bones, it can be done with smaller as well, When was the last time you roasted bones, waste not, want not!
