Introduction:
Looking to cut down on your grocery bill without compromising on the quality of your meals? You’re in the right place! This SUPER simple tip will save you money and give you the confidence to whip up delicious, budget-friendly dishes that taste amazing. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, this trick works wonders.
Ingredients:
Leftover vegetable scraps (e.g., onion peels, carrot ends, potato skins)
Water
Salt (optional)
A large pot
Preparation:
Collect Your Scraps: Instead of tossing those veggie peels and stems, collect them in a container and store them in the fridge. You’ll be surprised at how many veggies you use and what you can save!
Boil It Up: Once you have enough scraps, place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for 30-60 minutes. The longer it simmers, the richer and more flavorful your broth will be.
Strain: After simmering, strain the broth to remove the vegetable scraps. Now you have a hearty, homemade vegetable broth that you can use in soups, stews, and sauces!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve: You can use your homemade vegetable broth as a base for soups, risottos, and sauces. It’s also great as a simple drink for extra hydration and nutrients.
Store: Allow the broth to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to a week or freeze it for longer storage.
