vegetable stock

By New German kitchen, September 26, 2015

Within many German recipes a powder for chicken or vegetable stock is used.
I will show you a very easy recipe for a vegan vegetable stock which is so easy to produce that you really have to give it a try:

Just take your favourite vegetables – as always: everything is allowed as long as you like it, add salt and mix it.
The relation from vegetables to salt should be 7:1. Hence, if you have 700 g vegetables add 100 g salt.

For getting a typical German vegetable stock I usually use

• 1 Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 200 g Celery
• 1 leek
• 1 bunch of Parsley
• 10 bay leaves
• salt (preferably rough sea salt)

 

If you have a strong mixer, let everything mixed until you have a paste for a vegan vegetable stock.
If not – no problem. Just rasp everything, mix it with the salt and you are also already done.

You can now dehydrate everything to have a real powder but usually I refer from that.
I put everything in glasses, keep it in the fridge and use it whenever needed. I used it to flavour my dishes, to create a fast vegetable soup or spread it over my bread and butter.
