Frozen Chicken Broth Cubes (Make-Ahead)

A genuinely brilliant time-saver for busy cooks! No, you've got the right recipe, and the photos really do match the description. I was pretty surprised myself the first time I saw it at a friend's place. What is it? An unusually shaped chicken broth that looks as quirky as it does in the photos. Here's the whole idea, explained below.

Rinse the chicken and cover it with water. Wash the onion and add it to the pot without peeling off the skin. Wash and peel the carrot and add it too. Drop in a few black peppercorns and a little salt. Skim off the foam as it comes to a boil. Once the chicken is cooked, lift it out and use it in a salad or other dishes. Turn the heat down to low and let the liquid reduce. Add the washed, unpeeled garlic to the broth. When the liquid has reduced to about a third of its original volume, cool the concentrated broth until warm, strain it, and pour it into molds — I used silicone ones. Put the molds in the fridge, and as soon as the broth sets, pop the cubes out, wrap them in plastic wrap, and put them in a bag. Store the bag of set broth in the freezer, and use the cubes whenever you need them.
