This stock is a little different than some you may
encounter. The roasted vegetables give
it a rich flavor. I usually put up a
nice sized batch and then freeze some for use at a later date.
Ingredients:
- 2 large Spanish Onions, chopped coarse
- 3 stalks Celery, chopped coarse
- 4 large Carrots, quartered
- 2 TBS Olive Oil
- 4 quarts cold Water
- 1 TBS Butcher Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh Parsley, chopped coarse
Cooking Procedure:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
- Place the onions, celery & carrots in a bowl
- Add the olive oil and, using your hands, toss well
- Place these vegetables in a roasting pan
- Place the pan in the oven
- Roast vegables until lightly browned & carmelized (about 20 minutes)
- Put the water in a large pot
- Add the roasted vegetables along with the remaining ingredients
- Bring this to a rolling boil
- Reduce heat to low
- Skim any white foam off of the surface of the stock & discard it
- Let this simmer for 3 hours
- Strain the stock through a fine mesh colander
- Discard the vegetables
- Cover the stock & place it in the fridge to cool if not using immediately
- Stock should stay fresh for 2 days
If you have more stock than you need at the present time,
freeze it
Yield: 2 quarts
