Veggie Broth you didn't know you could make :-)

Create a rich and flavorful vegetable stock from scratch using fresh, organic vegetables.

This versatile stock is perfect for soups, stews, sauces

and risottos, and it can be preserved for several months!

What you'll need:

food processor (this one is perfect if you are just starting out your kitchen journey)

glass jar with tight lid

Ingredients:

• 1/2 celery root (depending on size or a few stalks of celery)

• 2 carrots

• 1/2 onion

• 1 small leek, only the white part

• 1 parsley root (or 1/2 bunch of fresh Italian parsley)

• sea salt (adjust based on total weight of veggies)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:

   • Begin by peeling and cutting the celery root, carrots, onion, leek, and parsley root into smaller pieces.

   • Place all the chopped vegetables in a medium-sized bowl. Weigh the vegetables and add 20 grams of salt per 100 grams of vegetables. (sounds crazy I know :)

2. Blend the Vegetables:

   • Add the salt to the bowl with the vegetables.

   • Using a food processor, blend the mixture until it is well combined.

   • Pulse and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.

3. Test Your Flavor:

   • Boil a small amount of water and mix in a tablespoon of the vegetable stock to create a test sample.

   • Taste the stock and adjust the flavor by adding more celery, onion, or parsley, depending on your preference.

4. Sterilize the Jar:

   • To ensure long-lasting freshness, sterilize a glass container by pouring boiling water into it. Let it sit for a few minutes, then carefully pour out the water.

5. Store the Stock:

   • Once the stock is blended and adjusted to your liking, pour it into the sterilized jar. Seal the jar tightly.

   • Always use a clean metal spoon to scoop out the stock to maintain its freshness.

Storage:

Your homemade vegetable stock will keep in the refrigerator for about three months. Enjoy the convenience of having a flavorful base ready for your favorite dishes!

Tipp: Not sure what to fix and you don't have a lot of time? Just boil some water in a pot and add some veggie broth. I always have leftover rice or pasta, and then we add fresh organic or frozen veggies like peas, beans, carrots or corn. Extra protein: crack an egg in a bowl and whisk with a fork, then pour in the egg while (very) gently stirring. Just like an italian straciatella soup - perfect lunch or dinner for the entire family. Quick, healthy and so easy. Our Kids love it ♥
