Collagen Oil Ingredients
You need meat and bones that are rich in collagen. These include:
- Bones
- Chicken feet
- Cow foot
- Port Rinds
- If you want flavoured collagen oil, add vegetables:
- Onions
- Carrots
- Basil
- Garlic Sprouts
- Parsley
Before you prepare Collagen Oil
- Ask your butcher to cut the bones into small pieces for better extraction of the collagen.
- Make several cuts on the chicken feet and cowfoot, for better extraction of the collagen.
Directions for making the Collagen Oil
- Wash all the meat thoroughly. Soak the bones in water for about one hour. Rinse till the water is clear. This is so that all blood is washed off.
- Place in a big pot, cut up all the vegetables and add to the pot.
- Pour water to cover them and start cooking on high heat.
- Once it boils, turn down the heat to low and leave to simmer till the meat and bones start falling apart. If you have a slow cooker, it’s perfect for this.
- After a few hours of simmering, the one in the video below was for about 4 hours, turn off the heat. Take out the now deflated vegetables. Take out the tasteless meat and bones.
- Sieve the resulting collagen filled liquid into a clean dry bowl. Set aside to cool down completely.
- Place the bowl in the FRIDGE overnight to chill.
- The next morning, you will see the collagen oil caked on top. Gently scoop out and place in containers in small quantities and freeze.
- When you want to use it, add a small piece of frozen collagen oil to what you are cooking. Watch me use it to cook in this video.
