STOCK THE FREEZER

The key to preparing flavoursome stocks is to cook them at a gentle simmer.

If you boil the stock, you won’t create a well-developed flavour.

TIPS & TRICKS

To make a bouquet garni, tie 3 fresh bay leaves, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary,

6 sprigs fresh thyme and 6 stalks fresh flat-leaf parsley together with kitchen string.

Keep (washed) vegetable peelings from your meal preparations in a bowl in the fridge and add them to your stock. This reduces household waste and adds great flavour.

Prepare your stock a day ahead and leave overnight before you strain it. This will allow the flavours to infuse and create a stronger tasting stock.
