Oldest Medicine In The Kitchen

Let's dive into one of the oldest medicines in the kitchen. So we're going to talk about nourishing broth made with bones. So whether you're making broth with bones and just vegetables, or you're separately making broth with meat that has bones in it, on it, prepared with vegetables, the purpose is the same. Slowly drawing out nourishment, minerals, all sorts of amino acids, and really strength from simple ingredients over time. This is truly one of the oldest medicines in the kitchen. Once broth is finished, this is where it becomes a meal. So today I'm preparing a simple meal with kale, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, and onions. And I take the already prepared broth that's very thick, very gelatinous, really beautiful. You can stand a toothpick up in it when it's cool. And now you add all these vegetables, you bring it to a boil, lower to a simmer. 10-15 minutes later, you ladle it into your bowl and it becomes something bright, something that wakes up the body, something that's GAP's traditional foundational recipe is the broth. So it's rich in collagen, the gelatin, the amino acids, and it really helps heal and seal the gut lining. So this is your meal. This is a beautiful nourishing meal. This is one of many, many ways to prepare broth, you know, because once you've made it, it's the question is, well, now what do I do with it? And so we're going to turn it into a gorgeous meal that's super nourishing, old medicine, steady, quiet, and deeply restorative. So when taken regularly, broth provides the body with raw minerals it needs to rebuild. It supports digestion and immunity and resilience from inside out. Serve it warm, enjoy it often. This is nourishment meant to be felt. In today's meal with broth and vegetables, I also have a beautiful leftover ribeye, and so I'm slicing that up and adding that into my bowl. I will pour the hot broth over it and possibly add a splash of apple cider vinegar, but definitely taste for seasoning with salt and decide if there's any fresh herbs or seasonings I'd like to add. The leftover meats are really nice in broth. And again, just kind of building a meal here out of leftovers and odds and ends of the vegetables you have at home. Thanks for being here.
