1. Preparing brown meat stock (Image 1 of 6)

When you've finished your Sunday roast, don't just bin the bones - rustle up a scrumptious stock with whatever you've had for dinner.

Preparing brown meat stock
If you've had veal, beef or lamb pop the bones in a large, sturdy roasting tray with 2 unpeeled onions chopped in half and roast the lot in a hot oven for an hour.

When they're well browned, put the bones and onions in your largest pan and cover the lot with cold water. Throw in a few peeled carrots chopped in half, 2 halved celery sticks, a few peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, and a few fresh thyme sprigs and parsley stalks.
