If you love cooking and enjoy adding rich flavors to your dishes, then homemade meat stock cubes are a must-have in your kitchen. With the help of your trusty Bimby (also known as Thermomix), you can easily create these versatile flavor bombs that will elevate your dishes to a whole new level. Follow this step-by-step guide to make your very own meat stock cubes at home.

What You’ll Need:

Before we dive into the process, let’s gather the ingredients and equipment you’ll need for making meat stock cubes with Bimby:

  • 500g of beef or chicken bones
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • A handful of fresh parsley
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of whole peppercorns
  • Salt, to taste
  • A Bimby or Thermomix machine
  • Cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer
  • Ice cube trays or silicone molds

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by cleaning the bones under cold running water to remove any impurities. Then, chop the vegetables and herbs into rough chunks to facilitate blending in the Bimby later on.

Step 2: Cook the Stock

In the Bimby, combine the bones, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns. Add water until the ingredients are fully submerged. Season with salt according to your taste preferences.

Set your Bimby to cook at 100°C for 60 minutes at speed 1.

Step 3: Strain and Cool the Stock

After the cooking time is complete, strain the stock mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to separate the liquid stock from the solids. Compost the solid ingredients or use them for soups or stews later on.

Allow the stock to cool completely before proceeding to the next step. This will ensure that your meat stock cubes don’t melt or lose their shape while setting.

Step 4: Pour into Ice Cube Trays or Silicone Molds

Once the stock has cooled, carefully pour it into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Fill each compartment about 3/4 of the way, leaving room for expansion when freezing.

Step 5: Freeze and Store

Place the filled ice cube trays or silicone molds in the freezer and let them freeze overnight or until solid. Once frozen, remove the stock cubes from the trays or molds and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or plastic bag for easier storage.

Remember to label the container with the date and type of stock to keep track of freshness.

Step 6: Enjoy Your Homemade Meat Stock Cubes

Your homemade meat stock cubes are now ready to be used in your favorite recipes. Simply add them to soups, stews, sauces, risottos, or any other dish that requires a flavor boost. Enjoy the rich taste and depth these homemade cubes bring to your cooking!
