Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 A lot of recipes I do call for chicken stock, so I just replace with a veggie stock and they turn out delicious anyhow. I've been buying organic canned veggie stock, but I'm thinking it would be a lot more economical to make my own and freeze it. Does it freeze well and if so, anyone know how long? What should I freeze them in? And, lastly....Anyone got a good veggie stock recipe? And an idea for what to do with the veggies after the stock is made? Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!

What should I freeze them in? I make my own veggie stock and freeze it in plastic Tupperware-like containers. Some people use very large zip-lock freezer bags. It seems to last almost forever. Well, LOL...maybe 3 or 4 months. And, lastly....Anyone got a good veggie stock recipe? And an idea for what to do with the veggies after the stock is made? I take my older looking veggies (I usually have little remnants of all types), wash them, just cut them into big chunks and throw them in a pot and fill it with water. I use onions, leeks, mushrooms, celery, potatoes, carrots, green beans, whatever I have. Just be careful of too much broccoli or cabbage or those strong tasting ones. I let it boil for about 1/2 hr. then leave it sit on no flame with the lid on for about another hour or 2 or even 3. I then take off the lid and then let it cool down, as it's usually still hot. I use a strainer to separate the veggies from the stock (I throw the soggy veggies out). Then use right away it or put it in containers.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Also, in addition to my last post, I don't usually add any spices to my stock. I wait and add the spices when I am actually using it in a recipe. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
