How to make your own vegetable broth!
I have never made vegetable broth before and this turned out awesome! Since becoming vegetarian I haven't used vegetable broth at all. Until now. We just had bone broth so I looked for substitutes (so I could make mushroom stroganoff) and I found that you could make it, so here's the recipe...
1 tablespoon of peppercorns
2 or 3 bay leaves
1 small yellow onion cut into 4s (no need to peel of the onion is clean)
2 or 3 large cloves of garlic, unpeeled and smashed with the side of a knife
A sprig or two of fresh thyme or a large pinch of dried
Optional: a few dried mushrooms, a dried chile flakes
9 cups water
1.Take a big sauce pan and pour all the water in, turn it to high
2. Pour all of the other ingredients in once it has boiled
3. Set a timer for 12 minutes, cover and stir occasionally
4. Taste it and add as much salt as you think it needs
Tip:
Add food scraps that you would compost or throw away into the broth! Carrot tops or heads, cauliflower leaves, bell pepper seeds and tops, ginger, etc!
I loved making this and it's great to know exactly whats in your food!
