FRESH VEGETABLE BROTH

Vegetable broth is rich and delicious when made correctly. The peels add color and vitamins, and the mushrooms lend great flavor. There are many varieties of veggie broth in cans too. Try both homemade and canned. You also can substitute canned chicken broth for the Fresh Vegetable Broth in any recipe.

VEGETABLE BROTH



Vegetable Broth image

Contrary to what you might think, making a fine vegetable broth is not a matter of tossing any vegetable matter into a pot and boiling it up. The vegetables you start with need not be picture perfect, but starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, should not be part of the mix or the broth will turn out murky, and brassicas, like cabbage and broccoli, are also not good to use or the broth will not be clear tasting. Then, don't stint on the amount of vegetables for the amount of broth you would like to wind up with. One tomato and one chard leaf do not a tasty broth make. There should be enough water so that the vegetables barely float, but not any more. Cook the broth until the vegetables are very soft but not disintegrating; this helps make a clear broth. Following is a mix and method I use to make a good-size batch of vegetable broth that is rich enough to serve on its own as a bouillon or use as a base for any soup.

Yield makes about 10 cups (2 1/2 quarts)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tomatoes, coarsely cut up
1 small yellow or white onion, coarsely cut up
2 large cloves garlic
1 rib celery, coarsely cut up
1 carrot, coarsely cut up
1 zucchini, coarsely cut up
2 cups coarsely shredded leafy greens, such as chard, spinach, dandelion, or hearty lettuce, or a mixture
8 to 10 fresh parsley sprigs
6 fresh cilantro sprigs
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 small bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt
10 cups (2 1/2 quarts) water

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine all the ingredients, cover partially, and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to maintain a brisk simmer and cook until the vegetables are very soft and the broth is well colored, about 1 hour.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cool completely. Or, cool completely in the pot, then strain into storage containers. Refrigerate uncovered until chilled. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 weeks.

Broth With Trout and Fresh Vegetables image

Provided by Paula Wolfert

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield Two to three servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 scallions, roots trimmed, halved lengthwise and all but 3 inches of the green shoots removed, washed and drained
2 Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved, cored and washed
1 medium carrot, scraped and sliced crosswise, at a slight diagonal, about 1/8 inch thick
4 to 6 asparagus stalks, woody bottom trimmed, spear peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
2 bibb lettuces, split
2 stalks Swiss chard with leaves, root ends trimmed; stalks and leaves separated
6 cups water, preferably a mineral water such as Evian
Coarse sea salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 clove
1 bay leaf, tied with 2 small stalks celery with leaves and 3 sprigs flat leaf parsley
2 shallots, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
2 to 3 fish fillets, skinned (4 to 5 ounces each of either trout, Arctic char, porgy, whiting or small pieces of salmon trout)
Freshly ground white pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons French walnut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. In a saucepan, cook the scallions, Brussels sprouts, carrot, asparagus, lettuce and Swiss chard stalks in six cups of salted water until the vegetables are tender, about eight minutes. Scoop out the vegetables, using a slotted spoon; refresh them under cold water, drain and place them in an 8- to 10-cup wide baking-serving dish. Add the Swiss chard leaves to the cooking liquid and boil until they are tender, about one minute. Remove and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and add to the vegetables. Place the dish in the oven to keep it warm.
  • Meanwhile, pour off all but one-and-one-quarter cups of the vegetable water (or reserve for some other purpose). Add the butter, garlic, clove, herb bouquet and shallots. Cover and cook over medium low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Nestle the fish fillets in a single layer among the vegetables in the baking dish. Pour over that the contents of the saucepan and return to the oven to cook the fish, about 10 minutes. (Note that the texture of the fish will be very smooth, due to the low-temperature cooking). Remove the herb bouquet. Adjust seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. Drizzle the fish with walnut oil. Serve hot.
