This recipe can easily be doubled or even quadrupled, just keep the scrap mixture evenly divided between the 2 groups. While the Parmesan rind is purely optional, it adds wonderful, cheesy depth to the flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup carrot scraps
1 cup onion scraps
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon peppercorns
1 quart water
½ teaspoon salt
1 splash white wine
2-inch Parmesan cheese rind (optional)

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop carrot and onion scraps into 1-inch pieces. Peel garlic cloves and smash lightly with the flat side of a large knife, so the cloves are cracked and somewhat flattened.
  • Heat olive oil in a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add vegetable scraps, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
  • Add water, salt, white wine, and cheese rind. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more.
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
