Ginger-Lemongrass Bone Broth

These days, lots of people are excited about bone broth. Not only is it soothing, grounding and warming, it can also be flavored in many different and interesting ways. This recipe gives you a great way to utilize herb and vegetable stems and trimmings to make a delicious, clear broth that’s beautifully golden in color with the wonderful flavors of fresh herbs and vegetables.

This recipe yields about a gallon of broth. If that’s more than you’ll use in five days, reserve the amount you want to use and freeze the rest.

Basic Broth Ingredients

  • 8 lbs. chicken bones
  • ½ lb. onions, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • ¼ lb. carrots
  • ¼ lb. celery
  • A small handful of parsley stems
  • 4 bay leaves
  • Several thyme sprigs
  • Several garlic cloves
  • Small handful of black peppercorns



Ginger-Lemongrass Variation
To the above ingredients, add…

  • 1 bunch of lemongrass, or lemongrass trimmings, roughly chopped
  • Cilantro stems
  • Mint stems
  • Ginger root, rough chopped
  • Scallion Trimmings


You can also add…

  • Mushroom stems
  • 1 chili pepper
  • A bit of tamari or fish sauce for flavor


Method

  1. Put the chicken bones in a stockpot and rinse them with cold water.
  2. Add cold water to cover the chicken bones (about six quarts) and bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer over low heat for a minimum of four hours, and up to 18 hours periodically skimming the top of the stock to remove foam and fat as it develops (we like to let it simmer overnight).
  4. Add the vegetables and herbs, and simmer for one hour.
  5. Pour the stock through a fine mesh strainer, cool, and store in the fridge for up to five days.

“Remembering to be as self compassionate as I can and praying to the divine that we're all a part of.” 
–Aaron

“Prayer, reading, meditation, walking.”
–Karen
“Erratically — which is an ongoing stream of practice to find peace.”
–Charles
“Try on a daily basis to be kind to myself and to realize that making mistakes is a part of the human condition. Learning from our mistakes is a journey. But it starts with compassion and caring. First for oneself.”
–Steve

“Physically: aerobic exercise, volleyball, ice hockey, cycling, sailing. Emotionally: unfortunately I have to work to ‘not care’ about people or situations which may end painfully. Along the lines of ‘attachment is the source of suffering’, so best to avoid it or limit its scope. Sad though because it could also be the source of great joy. Is it worth the risk?“
–Rainer

“It's time for my heart to be nurtured on one level yet contained on another. To go easy on me and to allow my feelings to be validated, not judged harshly. On the other hand, to let the heart rule with equanimity and not lead the mind and body around like a master.”
–Suzanne

“I spend time thinking of everything I am grateful for, and I try to develop my ability to express compassion for myself and others without reservation. I take time to do the things I need to do to keep myself healthy and happy. This includes taking experiential workshops, fostering relationships, and participating within groups which have a similar interest to become a more compassionate and fulfilled being.“
–Peter

“Self-forgiveness for my own judgments. And oh yeah, coming to Esalen.”
–David B.

“Hmm, this is a tough one! I guess I take care of my heart through fostering relationships with people I feel connected to. Spending quality time with them (whether we're on the phone, through messages/letters, on Zoom, or in-person). Being there for them, listening to them, sharing what's going on with me, my struggles and my successes... like we do in the Esalen weekly Friends of Esalen Zoom sessions!”
–Lori

“I remind myself in many ways of the fact that " Love is all there is!" LOVE is the prize and this one precious life is the stage we get to learn our lessons. I get out into nature, hike, camp, river kayak, fly fish, garden, I create, I dance (not enough!), and I remain grateful for each day, each breath, each moment. Being in the moment, awake, and remembering the gift of life and my feeling of gratitude for all of creation.”
–Steven
“My physical heart by limiting stress and eating a heart-healthy diet. My emotional heart by staying in love with the world and by knowing that all disappointment and loss will pass.“
–David Z.


Today, September 29, is World Heart Day. Strike up a conversation with your own heart and as you feel comfortable, encourage others to do the same. As part of our own transformations and self-care, we sometimes ask for others to illuminate and enliven our hearts or speak our love language.

What if we could do this for ourselves too, even if just for today… or to start a heart practice, forever?
