Fakers Homemade Stock Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pour the store-bought stock (or water) into a saucepan. If you're using bouillon cubes, get the water boiling, then add the cubes.
  • Throw in the vegetable scraps and other stuff.
  • Cook at a high simmer until you need the stock, ideally at least 10-15 minutes. Strain it right into whatever you need it for.
  • Voila! Almost-homemade stock!

    Yes, Rodge, and that's fine, if that's your cooking style. I said in the preface that I'm a bit of a stock fanatic. If you seriously think that bouillon cubes with water taste as good as a full-bodied homemade stock, go ahead and cook with just that. But what I am giving here is a strategy for quickly enhancing and enriching the flavor of store-bought broth with a handful of vegetable scraps. You don't have to use it if you don't think it's worth your time. My opinion is that it adds significant flavor, and it's a great deal quicker than starting with all the raw ingredients of stock, which I take more like an hour to prepare. As a grad student, I'm often racing against the clock when I'm cooking, but don't want to sacrifice the flavor I cherish as a gourmet.

    Sounds like you're combining intant with traditional veg stock. Can I ask what the point is? I would just do one or the other.
