The Story

Vegetable stock turns bitter if you overcook it or let it brown. Keep it pale, keep it fresh, and it stays useful instead of tasting like compost.

Ingredients

1

Sweat all the vegetables in a stockpot with a splash of oil and a pinch of salt until they soften without coloring.

2

Add the thyme, bay, and water and bring to a boil.

3

Reduce to a simmer and cook 1 hour.

4

Strain and chill.

Jason's Notes

A vegetable stock still needs structure. Roast nothing, keep the flavor clean, and build something that helps without taking over.
