Homemade stock powder
Broth cubes generally consist for the most part of salt and preservatives. If you're lucky, there are actually vegetables in it. A big reason to give this homemade stock powder a try. It is a lot healthier and also much tastier than a stock cube from the supermarket.
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 100 degrees.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic and mash this together with the pepper, cayenne pepper, salt and fresh herbs
- Then add the coarsely chopped leek, carrots, spring onions, maggi and celery sticks
- Grind this to a smooth puree, the finer you grind it, the finer the powder will eventually become
- Take a baking tray and place some baking paper on it
- Spread the mixture over the baking paper so that you get a thin layer.
- The thinner the layer, the better the drying process. Put the whole thing in the oven for an hour
- Then after an hour you open the oven door a little so that the moisture can escape (the oven remains at 100°C)
- Then let the mixture dry in the oven for another three to six hours.
- Stir the mixture regularly during drying When the vegetable mixture has dried completely, remove it from the oven and grind everything in a food processor to a nice powder form.
