**Vegetable Stock – home made
Make your own vegetable stock at home by saving all your vegetable scraps, garlic ends, onion skins, herb stalks, etc. Simply keep it all in a large freezer bag until its full. Once the bag is bursting, throw everything into a stock pot, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for approximately 1 hour. Cool and strain through cheesecloth into jars. Keep up to a week refrigerated or frozen in freezer bags up to a month.
Other uses for your stock: Add it to anything that calls for water. It gives you a nice warm background flavour. Soups, rice, grains, pasta.
Get creative! Best thing is… no food waste!
