Winter Stock
Overview
This homemade stock really adds depth of flavour to any recipe requiring stock as well as loading a recipe with lots of vitamins and minerals. The stock is also delicious drunk as a broth particularly when recovering from an illness or as part of a detox.
Top Tip
Some of the best stocks are made from the peelings of vegetables and herb stems. When you prepare vegetables, keep the peelings in a box in the fridge and when it is full, use them to make a delicious stock.
