Crock Pot Vegetable Stock

Crock Pot Vegetable Stock

In an effort to eat better, and maybe stock up on some winter soups, I present to you this vegetable stock. It’s made in a crock pot, and it couldn’t be easier. I always keep a sealable baggie full of vegetable scraps in my freezer, and recently my brother, Dane, called me to ask how to make vegetable stock from a similar baggie of vegetables that he had in his freezer. This reminded me that my bag was pretty much full, from carrot peels, onion butts and leftover pieces of zucchini, broccoli, garlic and whatever else I happened to throw in there, so it was time for me to make stock, too. It really doesn’t matter what vegetables you have, as long as you can fill up a 1 gallon baggie of whatever it is. Just toss it all in the crock pot (no need to thaw it out), add a bay leaf and 8 to 10 cups of water, then let it simmer on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours, but I prefer the flavors of a low, slow stock). The color and texture of your stock will vary depending on what you have in your crock pot. For example, I had a few leftover bits of purple carrot in my stock, so it was a lovely dark brown color. The longer you let your stock bubble away for, the darker it will be, so consider that when you make yours. You can certainly make this in a stock pot on the stove, if you like – just bring it to a simmer, cover and allow it to cook for 3 hours or so. I do think that the crock pot is the best way to go about it, though, and considering how easy and waste-free the method is, I don’t see why everyone wouldn’t try it!

Creamy Turmeric Ginger Tea

This is a loose riff on the turmeric tea from 101 Cookbooks. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory, and when combined with the cold-soothing powers of ginger and honey, it makes a powerful restorative. I use almond milk as the base for my turmeric tea, both because it helps release fat-soluble compounds in the spices and because I like the nutty creaminess it gives against the bitter tumeric and sharp ginger. This is the perfect soother if you have a cold, a sore muscle, or even menstrual cramps.

Makes 12-15 servings
