Ingredients
Herbs and Spices
- 3 Bay Leaves
- 10 Peppercorns black
- 5 sprigs Thyme fresh
- 3 Cloves optional
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse the leek, celery, carrot, and red onion to remove any dirt. This ensures a clean and flavorful stock.
- Roughly chop all the vegetables. There's no need for precise cuts, as they will be simmered and strained out later.
- Place the chopped vegetables in a large stockpot. Add the bay leaves, garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and fresh thyme. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the vegetables by about 2 inches.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer. This slow simmering process allows the vegetables to release their flavors into the stock.
- Simmer the stock for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor. The longer simmering time extracts maximum flavor from the vegetables and herbs.
- After simmering, remove the stock from the heat. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or a colander lined with cheesecloth. This removes the solids and leaves you with a clear, flavorful stock.
- Your homemade vegetable stock is now ready to use. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
