Notes

1. Smashed garlic – Place side of large knife on garlic then use the heel of your hand to bash the side of the knife once, making the garlic burst open but mostly hold together.

2. Salt – This is the salt quantity required to make vegetable stock taste like store bought stock. It’s optional however because one of the nice things about homemade stocks is that you can make the saltiness to your taste. For meat-based stocks, I do not add salt so they can be reduced by 80%+ to make jus without ending up too salty. We don’t usually make jus with vegetable stock, so you can salt it if you wish.

3. Nutrition for entire batch which includes the calories of all the vegetables. In reality, most of the vegetables are discarded.
