Vegetable stock

Vegetable stock can be made in advance and stored frozen. Stock is nothing but water in which vegetables have been boiled in , so that the water ends up with a flavor of its own. While boiling the water with the vegetables, I have added a "Maggi Magic Cube" which is a stock powder.You can omit this if you do not have it.

To make Vegetable stock (pick any 2 or use all of the following)
1/2 cabbage
1 onion
1 carrot
1 potato
1 maggi veg cube (optional)

Optional:
Aromatics like celery , rosemary.
Spices like pepper, bay leaf



Peel the above vegetables and cut into large pieces and boil in 4 litres of water. 






Boil this or pressure cook for 3 whistles till the vegetables soften.
DO NOT MASH the vegetables or the stock will turn murky.
Strain and throw away the vegetables.
The left over liquid is the vegetable stock.
Use this in risotto and soups.
