Vegetable Stock

Is from a Soup Recipe Book . I do have some Recipe books which I have purchased Online through Amazon Prime . Can make a homemade Vegetable Stock in other ways , such as using the woody parts of Asparagus etc. Or using the inside parts of raw Tomatoes . Potato peelings can give flavour. Carrot ends and peelings etc. The following Recipe will make about 1 litre

Ingredient

bay leaf

1 clove

garlic, crushed

1 teaspoon

peppercorns

small carrots, chopped

2 sticks

celery, chopped

medium leek, chopped

1/2

onion, chopped

1 tbsp.

olive oil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, leek and carrot and cook on a low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes

* Step 2

Pour enough water (about 1 and a half litres) to generously cover the vegetables

* Step 3

Turn the heat up and add the garlic, peppercorn, celery and bay leaf. Bring to the boil and cook gently for about 15 minutes

* Step 4

Turn the heat down and simmer for a further 30 minutes

* Step 5

Sieve the mixture, discarding the vegetables (or find another use for them)

* Step 6

Use the stock for your soup, or store in a sealed container until ready to use. The stock can keep in the fridge for about 3 days or can be frozen in batches for future use
