Step 1
Start by coating the bottom of your slow cooker with a little olive oil. Toss in the celery, carrots, potato, onion, lettuce, beer, shallots, fennel, bell pepper, apple, parsley, peppercorns, lemon, ginger, tamari, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour enough water over everything to just cover the ingredients. Set your slow cooker to Low and let it cook for 8 to 10 hours, or if you’re short on time, use the High setting for about 4 hours. Once it’s done, use a slotted spoon to fish out and discard all the solid bits. Then, line a colander with cheesecloth and place it over a large pot. Carefully strain the broth through the cheesecloth to get a nice, clear liquid. Your broth is ready to use or store!
