I tend to like Knorr's vegetarian vegetable boullion cubes. a bit high on the sodium but plenty flavorful, unless you prefer homemade stock.

Hello Keith...the problem of a great vegetarian stock is really quite

an issue since stock is so often called for in many different kinds

of recipes. I have tried making stock with varying kinds and

quantities of vegetables: carrots and other root vegetables have a

lot of flavor although these can turn very bitter if reduced too

much. Leeks, onions, celery, and the usual green veggies in varying

quantities are helpful. Sometimes the resulting stock tastes better

than others, but in general it seems to lack " substance " or

conversely has an unpleasant/bitter intensity and so you can't really

rely on it as a flavor accent. After gnashing my teeth over this

problem, it finally occurred to me that the secret must lie in the

seasoning since veggies can give only so much and I have since tried

various spices, not huge quantities, but interesting combinations

such as garlic/oregano/bay leaf or garlic/tarragon(not much)/parsley

or garlic/basil/bay leaf/parsley. While this next suggestion will

very likely horrify you, if you can get away with adding some color,

tomato paste/chili sauce/ketchup can add just enough to wake up the

stock without overpowering it, but, of course, the last two are

excessively high in sodium which can be a negative factor. Other

prepared sauces, even a pinch of dry mustard or ginger, can be used

in the same way and while it is perhaps not the purest way to achieve

flavor, it can work fairly well and requires only a minimum amount,

but testing is definitely required! Some of mine have been perfectly

dreadful!

I would also agree it is the seasonings that give flavour to vege stock - I use garlic, pepper, soy sauce, and the "secret" ingredient which really gives body to the stock - vegemite (think in US it is called marmite) - it is a concentrated yeast extract, looks like oil sludge but really lifts the flavour!! You only need to add about a dessert spoon to the stock (or to taste).

 

OM Shanti

What a good suggestion! I completely forgot about vegemite/marmite, although I have brought back some containers of this handy substance from the UK when I have been visiting. What it lacks in aethetic eye-appeal, it more than makes up for in taste enhancement. My only reticence was caused by the dread that the lid might dislodge during the flight and I would indeed have "sludge" in my suitcase, not a pleasant prospect!

I like this " sauce/gravy " recipe. It can be used as a sauce/gravy

and you can also add it to soups and stews as a flavour base. If I

don't have any of this made up, I use Rapunzel Vegan bullion cubes,

the " no salt added " kind. The best bullion cubes I have ever found,

and the only bullion cubes I will buy!

 

Garden Brown Sauce

 

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1 large carrots, chopped

3/4 medium onion, chopped

2 celery ribs, chopped

1 cup sliced mushrooms

4 garlic cloves, sliced

1/4 cup tomato paste

1/4 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup dry red wine

2 Tbsp tamari

2 tsp peppercorns

3 bay leaves

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp sea salt

 

Saute carrot and onion in olive oil until lightly browned, about 15

minutes. Add celery, mushrooms, and garlic and saute about 10

minutes more, until browned. Add tomato paste and saute about 10

mintes more. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.

Stir in the wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of

the pan. Add 6 cups of water and all remaining ingredients and bring

to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain

thru a seive and discard any solids. Serve immediately or

refrigerate up to one week. The sauce can be frozen for up to 3

months. Makes about 4 cups.

I use Swanson's vegetable broth (in a can!) for almost all my soups. Of

course nothing really is as flavorful as a meat broth, but I think it does

a fine job. My french onion soup is delic in it!

I get all my broth powders from my food co-op that get their seasonings

from 'frontier herbs',

here is there address:

http://www.frontiercoop.com/,

and their

chicken-flavored broth is even on sale right now. It is very good

stuff,

we simple add water, tvp and broken up spaghetti noodles for a good soup,

the kids ask

for it in their lunches. They also have beef-like

broth. Hope this is helpful for you.

This is from the following website:

 

http://www.ivu.org/history/europe20a/hitler.html

 

A very brief summary of the conclusions in the above articles:At various times Hitler reduced the amount of meat in his diet, primarily for medical reasons. Sometimes he reduced it a lot but the evidence shows that he never stopped eating meat completely for any significant length of time. Unfortunately many meat-eaters, including historians, use the term 'vegetarian' incorrectly to describe someone who simply reduced their meat consumption. The confusion was compounded by Goebbels, grossly exagerating Hitler's 'vegetarianism' for propaganda purposes

Serena,

 

I have been thinking about your question for a few days now...and I happened to

stumble across an answer for you in one of my newer cookbooks. There's a book

called Gluten-Free Baking by Rebecca Reilly (copyright 2002 - it's NEW!!) that

has a section at the beginning of the book of what one may need for stocking a

gluten-free pantry. The list is several pages long and includes lots of fun

little kitchen gadgets as well as foods. I'm read through it several times and

many of the items listed are stuff that I never use (at least right now), but it

does provide a lot of ideas. If you get a chance to run to a book store, check

it out. Lots of great recipes and info.

 

Good luck!

 

Dan

Hello all!

Just can't say enough about how good the recipes are on here. We

love them. One of these days I will be brave enough to add some of my

own creations on here :-)

Not sure if this is off topic-I do apologize if it is. We just

moved to Surprise, AZ and were wondering anyone on here is from the

area or knows of a good Vegetarian restaurant or even Indian or

Mediterranean place.

 

Thanks!

:-) Maria
