Kitchen Scrap Mushroom Stock
I hate wasting perfectly good vegetables to make mushroom stock—using kitchen scraps is a cheaper, less wasteful alternative!
Ingredients
- 2 cup mushroom stem frozen
- 2 cup frozen vegetable scraps onion and shallot skins, carrot and celery trimmings, etc.
- 3 parsley sprigs
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 cup water
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in large Dutch oven or stock pot.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer partially covered for 45 minutes; remove lid and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes more.
- Allow stock to cool, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Press vegetable scraps against the strainer with a wooden spoon in order to extract as much stock as possible.
- Discard solids and store stock in a plastic container or freezer bag.
Notes
- If you want to make broth rather than stock, simply season the stock with salt and pepper to taste after it's done cooking.
