💚 Zero Food Waste Vegetable Stock Powder ✨
Recipe 🇬🇧👇 (🇦🇹 auf meinem Blog)
If you follow me for a while, then you might know, that I love making vegetable stock powder myself for many reasons:
🥰 It is made from leftovers and scraps and costs nothing (beside a bit of time and energy).
🤩 As it’s in powder form, it takes up little space and keeps forever.
😍 You can customize it according to your wishes and needs.
😋 Use it to make soups, but also to season any other salty dishes.
🥳 Without sugar, additives, flavor enhancers, or glutamate - all natural, healthy, vegan, organic (if you like) and gluten-free.
It’s so easy to make your own vegetable stock powder! Let me show you how … 👏
🛒 Ingredients
Vegetable leftovers, scraps, and herb stalks
👩🍳 Preparation
Cut veggies into small pieces and place them in freezer bags n the freezer. Herb stalks are collected separately.
If you have collected about 2-3 freezer bags (mine hold 2.5 l = 84.5 oz), then it's time to dry everything: take a baking sheet, put baking paper on it, and turn on the oven to approx. 90 C (195 F) circulating air.
First, dry the vegetable pieces, as they take longer. With the handle of a wooden spoon, leave the oven door a gap open, so that the moisture can escape.
After 1-2h, stir them up and turn the heat down to 70 to 80 C (160 to 175 F).
At best, you have a 2nd baking sheet. If not, then the vegetables on the 1st tray already shriveled, and you have gained space there to now add the herbs.
Every 1-2h turn everything. The drying process takes a couple of hours, maybe six. It depends on whether you use a lot of vegetables with a high water content and how small or large they are cut (mine are always too big...).
Once everything is dry, blend it. Use a blender with which you can grind dry food.
If you have the feeling that the powder is not 100% dry, then dry everything again briefly in the oven (to prevent mold) and blend again if necessary.
Now fill the powder in a mason jar and add salt, I use 1/4 to 1/5 of the dried amount.
