Homemade Stock Cubes (Basic Version)

Some people have different reasons for not eating
store-bought stock cubes. If you or a family
member are/is allergic to MonoSodium Glutamate
(MSG) which store-bought stock cubes contain or
you just want to eat only natural foods, here’s how
to make your own stock cubes at home.
You will need:
Soft bones (also known as biscuit bones in
Nigeria)
Salt (optional)
Chunks of onion
Directions
1. Cook the soft bones with some water, salt and
chunks of onion. If preparing stock cubes for use
in traditional Nigerian soups such as Bitterleaf
Soup or Ora Soup, do not add onions. As a guide,
pour water to the same level as the soft bones.
Add salt to your taste.
2. Start cooking and once it boils, cook for another
20 minutes.
3. Take out the chunks of onion and leave to cool
down a bit.
4. Then pour the stock (water from cooking the
bones) into ice cube trays.
5. Put the trays of stock cubes in the freezer
overnight.
6. Your homemade stock cubes are ready! Add to
your cooking like you would add Maggi, Knorr,
