Total Time: 2 Hr 10 Minutes

Yields: 2-4 Servings

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients together and blend well (easiest with your hands so you can knead and squeeze the cabbage to tenderize and marinate it for a full ~3 minutes). 
  2. Ideally, refrigerate at least 2 hours and then allow to warm up at room temp a bit before serving for maximum flavor. The fruit juice mixes in and sweetens the dressing – delicious! 
  3. You can stir in baby shrimp or serve alongside fish; the flavors are very complementary.

  1. To make straining easier I use a mesh strainer over a pitcher-style 4-cup measuring cup. This makes transferring the stock to the canning jars easier. I do one jar at a time, cleaning out the strainer as needed. the fat will rise tot he top of the jars in the fridge which can be included in whatever you are making or scraped off if your body is not ready for all the fat. Discard the bones and vegetables. Meat still on the bones can be eaten or reserved for soups.
  2. I love to drink the broth warm with a little sea salt added with meals or use it cook rice or vegetables. I also use it anytime a recipe calls for stock or broth. So delicious healing to your gut!
