Edward Schneider's take on vegetable stock. Added by Mark Bittman to his blog "Bitten" Sept. 30, 2008. The Ingredient list is from How to Cook Everything vegetarian.
Ingredients:
2 carrots, chunked
1 onion, chunked UNPEELED
1 potato, chunked
1 celery stalk
2 - 3 cloves of garlic UNPEELED
10 or 20 parsley stems
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions:
Place vegetables on medium in the oil and leave for 5 minutes. Then stir and brown them.
Add parsley, soy sauce, six cups water, and salt and pepper to taste.
Clamp on the lid and bring the cooker up to full pressure. Turn down the heat and let it cook dangerously away for twenty
If possible, let it cool on its own
Notes:
My pressure cooker was busy. An hour covered on the heat is fine. You can easily double the water and get more really good stock. I did this with 4 more cups in a second brewing.
