What to add to broth to remove unpleasant odors

At first glance, it may seem that meat broth should smell like meat, but when it is made from old meat, an unpleasant odor may appear. You can drown out the unpleasant aroma without culinary chemicals, but it is better to prepare for the process in advance. Here's how to cook broth.

Ready-made broth

The cause of an unpleasant odor may be blood remaining in the meat. That is why the gray foam is removed during cooking.

  1. If the broth is already ready, it is best to boil it with carrots, onions and garlic;
  2. Allspice, turmeric and paprika perfectly mask the smell;
  3. Cilantro, parsley, basil or dill are suitable from fresh herbs, and if you can no longer cook, then add a little lamb fat.

Preparing for cooking

Instead of trying to hide the unpleasant smell, try to prepare the meat properly for cooking:

  • Soak it in cold water in the refrigerator for several hours. Then you need to drain the water, cut the meat into pieces and start cooking.
  • You can drain the first broth after the water boils, and then cook a new normal broth. It is believed that this way you can clean the meat of the remains of medicines that may have been in it during the animal's life;
  • Another way to avoid the appearance of an unpleasant aroma is to put the meat in a bowl of salt for 10-15 minutes. It is believed that this method helps better than soaking.
