VEGAN FONDS DE CUISINE SIMPLE

[Simple Vegan Meat Stock]

...if you speak French...you probably know that the word fond means foundation...because a stock is the most basic element (or foundation) of a lot of recipes...

...and the word 'simple' is the same in both languages...haha...

...Julia has a two page introduction to the making of stock...and says that this one is a 'general formula'

...I started with some G. Washington broth...and I thought this was an interesting article about that...

...and I didn't add any salt...because the broth packet is salty enough...and I put my garlic, bay leaf, parsley and thyme in my tea ball instead of cheesecloth...

...and then just add everything to the pot...and Julia instructs NOT to let it boil...

...so just simmered 'until your taste convinces you that you have simmered the most out of your ingredients'

...strain into a jar and store in fridge or freeze...
