Comment by Poonam Dash on 07 April 2010 06:46AM how to prepare vegetable stock?can we avoid egg? Reply :- Hi Krity, I usually prepare vegetable stock at home or use store bough veg stock. To prepare veg stock at home 1. Boil assorted vegetables in a pot full of water like onions, celery, carrots, cilantro, beans, etc. 2. Add some salt and pepper for seasoning and simmer for about 1 hour. 3. After that drain the liquid alone and discard the vegetable pieces. 4. You can use this stock for making soups and other dishes and store the excess stock in the freezer for many many days. You can skip the egg. |
