This recipe can be adapted for beef, lamb or goat. Simply substitute these for the chicken. For an extra rich meat stock, first roast the bones in the oven for about an hour.
You can use bones from a leftover roast chicken, buy them from a poultry supplier at the market, or use chicken necks. All are cheap and will result in a good, rich stock.

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil (or butter)1 onion, chopped
1/2 head of celery, chopped (green ends reserved)
2-3 carrots, chopped
Bones of 1 chicken (or 1/2kg chicken necks)
1 bay leaf
1 tsp whole peppercorns
Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery and half the carrot, and fry until soft. Transfer to a slow cooker or stock pot. Add the chicken bones and cover with water.Add the celery ends, the remaining carrot, bay leaf and peppercorns. Increase heat to high, and bring to the boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1-2 hours.
Strain off the liquid and transfer to a bowl or pot to cool. Discard the bones and solids. When cool, place stock in the fridge until any fat settles on the surface and gels. Scrape this off and your chicken stock is ready for use.

Hot Tips
Using a Tajine
Layer celery stalks on base of tajine before filling with meats etc. This acts as a trivet, lifting the meat off the base of the dish and prevents burning.
Glossary
Tacos
Tacos are made using fresh soft corn tortillas which have been warmed and are filled with beans, meat (grilled not minced) and salsa. They are folded up to enclose the filling.
