Original Recipe



Gode Broth (from Noble Boke off Cookry)



This is an adaptation of the gode broth needed by a large number of medieval recipes. I include it here as a standard that you will need to return to again and again.

Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

720ml chicken stock (made by boiling an onion and chicken bones with water)
130ml pork broth (made by boiling an onion and ham bones with water in a stock pot)
150g finely-ground breadcrumbs
½ tsp freshly-ground pepper
½ tsp ground cumin
6 saffron threads ground with 1 tbsp water in a pestle and mortar
salt to taste

Method:

Combine the two broths in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil Add the breadcrumbs and spices, bring back to the boil then reduce the heat and cook for a minute or so. Remove from the heat and use (it will also keep in the refrigerator for a few days.

A number of recipes require this broth to be made without breadcrumbs. Simply follow the instructions as above but omit the breadcrumbs.
