Making your own stock sounds intimidating - but you've got to try this recipe once and you'll see how easy (and beneficial) it is to make your own stock and know exactly what's in it!
This is a great recipe that can be frozen in ziplock bags or stored in ice-cube trays for a simple splash of flavour in any meal.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lemongrass stalk
1 onion
1 full bulb of garlic
1 bulb of ginger
1 bulb/1 tbsp turmeric
4 Carrots
1 bunch celery
1 fennel bulb
1 bunch of thyme
1 small bunch rosemary
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp coriander seeds
3 tsp salt
3L filtered water
METHOD:
Get ready for this one. Roughly, and I mean really roughly chop the veg. Don't peel a thing.
Chuck all the above, including the water, together in a large pot; bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool. Strain.
That's it!
