Roasted Vegetable Stock Recipes

ROASTED VEGETABLE SPREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the bell pepper, onion, garlic, zucchini, and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl and toss until the vegetables are coated. Spread the vegetables evenly on sheet pan lined with foil and place to the oven. Roast, tossing occasionally, until they are soft and are beginning to turn brown around the edges, approximately 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Place the vegetables in the bowl of a food processor along with the cream cheese and process until well combined and spreadable; do not process until completely smooth.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Spread on soft bread, such as challah, foccacia, or pita bread. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

ROASTED VEGETABLE STOCK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large roasting pan, combine the onions, onion peels, carrots, celery, and garlic cloves.
• In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste and 1/3 cup of water. Stir this into the vegetables, coating them lightly.
• Roast, tossing the vegetables once or twice during cooking, until everything is brown, fragrant, and toasty, 45 to 60 minutes. Keep a close eye on the vegetables towards the end so as not to let them take on a scorched taste.☞TESTER TIP: If your vegetables look like they're drying out or the miso is beginning to burn, drizzle an additional 1/3 cup water over the vegetables while they are roasting.
• Pile the roasted vegetables and aromatics in a large pot. Add the shiitake, rosemary, thyme, bay, peppercorns, and kombu, and then pour a little of the 3 quarts of water into the roasting pan, scraping up the caramelized bits stuck to the pan, then pour all that into the saucepan. Add the remaining water.
• Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered with a lid, until the broth is a deep brown color and has a rich flavor, 45 to 60 minutes
• Pour the broth through a sieve into a heatproof bowl and let cool.
• Cover and refrigerate and use as necessary. It will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge or can be frozen for up to 3 months.

ROASTED VEGETABLE STOCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F.
• Toss the vegetables with the olive oil, until gently coated.
• Place the vegetables in a roasting pan or on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for about half an hour, turning them occasionally (They should be nicely browned and very aromatic).
• Place all the vegetables in a large pot, scraping all the good brown stuff from the roasting pan into the pot with the herbs and peppercorns.
• Fill with water and place on the stovetop on medium high heat.
• Bring to a boil, lower the temperature, and boil gently for 2-3 hours (watch the water level--if it boils down too much, add more water).
• Strain, pressing down on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids and place the remaining liquid in a sauce pan.
• Simmer until reduced by three quarters; this could take about an hour.
• You should end up with about one and a half to two quarts of stock.

BASIC RECIPE: ROASTED VEGETABLE STOCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, carrot and garlic, and any other vegetables, in a roasting pan. Drizzle with the grapeseed oil and toss to coat the vegetables. Place in the oven, uncovered, and roast for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch the vegetables so they don't char (the leek greens will be especially vulnerable.) You are looking for browning and caramelization, not burnt. If some of the vegetables start to char before the others are done, remove them from the roasting pan.
• When the vegetables are done, remove from oven and scrape into a 4-quart sauce pan or Dutch oven. Place the roasting pan over a burner (or two, depending on the size of your pan) and add the wine. Bring to a simmer and deglaze the pan, scraping up any stuck bits. Empty the contents of the roasting pan into the pot with the vegetables and add 6 cups of water, the bay leaves and peppercorns. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 1/2 hour or so.
• Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve and use as needed.

• Transfer vegetables with a slotted spoon to a 4-quart saucepan. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add wine and deglaze pan by boiling over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to saucepan and add bay leaf, tomatoes, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids.
