This is a great recipe for lobster stock but you can also use shrimp shells, clam shells, salmon skin, fish bones, heads etc. I was surpised to see it takes three hours as I’ve traditionally done mine for only two.

When you roast chicken thighs with the bone in and skin on the result is a much more flavorful meal. This recipe calls for adobo seasoning and pico de gallo so it has a Spanish flavor, but using different combination of seasonings and toppings you can achieve a wide variety of flavors.
As soon as I get a chance to post my photos of the actual food, I will. Hopefully by this weekend. We are using a pot roast slow cooker sauce to make stew. The main difference is using cut up beef instead of the whole slab that you then have to slice before serving. I like the stew better because the meat takes on more of the flavor of the sauce.
