Using up Stock

[Cosmosis]

I have loads of chicken stock, we're having risotto tonight, but other than soup that's all I tend to use it for.

Don't really fancy soup, so any suggestions please?

curry

or freeze it

I often use it as a base for a casserole
But leftover I freeze in small portions to make gravy, add to next risotto etc

don't know why I hadn't thought of curry! May well do that.

Good idea to freeze in small portions too, thanks.

What about a thai/vietnamese style soup? Usually seems to involve chicken stock, with noodles, chilli and coriander.

I would love that, but for some reason (probably just to annoy me!) my DH doesn't like asian food. The git.

Leave him.

Wow -- that was cut to the chase

Surely grounds for divorce?!

I very double dare you to post that in AIBU and see what they say

"DH hates Asian food - leave or stay?"

But re the stock, I concur - freeze it, one big bagful for quick soup sometime, and a few icecube bags so you can add cubes to sauces etc.

The other thing would be to make the base for Gordon Ramsay's quick chicken & prawn pie - take stock, reduce by half, add a good few glugs of white wine, reduce by half, add cream, reduce till creamy enough - the actual recipe requires that you poach the chicken and prawns in the mixture but you could do your reduction, freeze it, and fix the rest later maybe?

freeze it in ice-cube trays and just add to anything requiring a (savoury) sauce, casseroles, gravy, curry, soup, pasta sauce, the cooking water for rice and couscous etc etc etc

Is it against the rules to post a thread about a thread if the thread it's about is your own thread??

I think you may be right about leaving him, I've been suffering the lack of chinese takeaways for 16 years!!
