Making a vegetable stock today and thinking about recipes. The vegetable stock is an easy thing to do. You basically just throw old stuff from the fridge into a pot and boil it for an hour. My recipe, such as it is, goes like this:
1 large onion
1 1/2 lb carrots
1 lb celery
1/2 lb shallots
1/2 lb mushrooms
2 cups white wine
5 quarts water (20 cups)
bayleaves
whole black peppercorns
fresh herbs (thyme, oregano etc)
To that you can add whatever green vegetables you have left over. I threw in a half bag of spinach that was going to spoil very soon, and a few stems of bak choi. It is also a good time to use those parsley and cilantro stems you saved. You did save them, right?
