Step-by-step
- Chop 1 or 2 onions in half.
- Chop 1 piece of ginger in half lengthwise.
- Broil onions and ginger in oven until charred - approximately 10 minutes. Be sure to have your fan on especially if you have a sensitive smoke detector.
- At the same time, combine all spices in a non-stick pan, cooking on low heat until they are fragrant - 3-4 minutes approximately. Do not over-cook as burnt spices can wreck everything.
- Turn Instant Pot on saute and wait for it to heat up (until display reads "hot"). Add some coconut oil and brown your bones. You will brown these bones on all sides (turn as needed).
- As you are doing this, boil water in kettle (this makes the process faster, but you're free to do it all in the Instant Pot in the next step if you wish).
- Once your bones are browned, turn the Instant Pot off. Add boiled water, onions and ginger, spices and fish sauce, and salt to taste - probably 1-2 Tablespoons.
- Fill remainder of Instant Pot with boiled water to max line.
- Turn Instant Pot to “Manual” setting for 75 minutes and use a slow pressure release when finished.
- Strain and put into jars. You may want to freeze them and thaw as needed. Enjoy!
Paleo Pho Bone Broth: My Secret Weapon for Busy Days
As a fitness model, my life revolves around maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It's not always easy juggling intense workouts, photoshoots, and the demands of a successful career. Finding time for elaborate meal prep often feels impossible. That's where this Paleo Pho Bone Broth recipe comes in. It’s become my secret weapon for staying nourished and energized without sacrificing precious time.
This bone broth isn't just a quick and easy meal; it's a powerhouse of nutrients. Packed with protein, collagen, and essential minerals, it supports my fitness goals from the inside out. The rich, savory flavor is incredibly satisfying, and the preparation is surprisingly simple, even on my busiest days. I often make a large batch on the weekend and store it in the freezer for quick and easy access throughout the week. It’s incredibly versatile – I use it as a base for soups, add it to my smoothies for a protein boost, or simply enjoy it warm on a chilly evening. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different bone types and spices to find your perfect flavor combination.
The process is straightforward enough that even on a hectic morning before a photoshoot I can manage to whip up a batch. One of the greatest things is the leftovers, those can be frozen and stored easily for later. The flavour is also exceptional, richer and more complex than other broths I've tried, and it keeps wonderfully in the fridge, meaning that I can enjoy this for several days following the making of the broth. If I am feeling creative, I may add some fresh vegetables, like spinach or mushrooms, to give it an added boost of nutrients and flavour.
Beyond its nutritional benefits, this bone broth offers a sense of calm and self-care in my otherwise hectic schedule. The simple act of simmering the broth feels almost meditative, a moment of quiet amidst the whirlwind of daily life. It's a small act of self-nurturing that contributes significantly to my overall well-being. And honestly, when you’re constantly on the go, those small moments of self-care are essential for maintaining balance and energy.
Ingredients I love to add:
While the base recipe is fantastic, I often like to experiment with different ingredients depending on my mood and what I have on hand. Here are a few of my favorite additions:
- Different Bone Types: I've used beef oxtail, turkey necks, chicken bones – the possibilities are endless!
- Seasonal Vegetables: Adding carrots, celery, or parsnips towards the end of the cooking process can add depth of flavour and extra nutrients.
- Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different spice combinations to create your own unique flavor profile. A dash of turmeric adds a beautiful golden hue and a potent anti-inflammatory boost.
- Other protein additions: When I have time, I like to add in lean protein such as chicken or beef in order to create a heartier meal.
Beyond the Broth:
This bone broth isn't just a delicious and nutritious meal; it's a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into countless dishes. I frequently use it as a base for soups, stews, and sauces, adding depth of flavor and enriching the nutritional value of my meals. It's also a fantastic addition to smoothies, providing a creamy texture and a boost of protein. And of course, a simple warm mug of bone broth on a cold evening is pure comfort.
A Quick Note on Time Management:
I understand the importance of time efficiency. Making this broth doesn't need to take up your entire day. The beauty of the Instant Pot is the speed and convenience. I often prep the ingredients in the morning before heading off to a photo shoot or a workout, then simply set the Instant Pot to work its magic. By the time I return, a nutritious and flavorful broth awaits.
This Paleo Pho Bone Broth recipe is more than just a recipe; it's a lifestyle choice. It’s a testament to the fact that healthy eating can be both delicious and convenient, even amidst the busiest of schedules. Embrace the simplicity and enjoy the nourishing benefits!
