When it comes to adding flavor to your dishes, nothing beats a good stock cube. However, store-bought stock cubes often contain additives and preservatives. So why not take matters into your own hands and make your own homemade granulated stock cube? It’s easier than you might think! Follow this simple guide to create your own flavorful, preservative-free stock cubes right in your kitchen.

What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups of mixed vegetables (such as carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms)
  • 1 cup of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of dried herbs (such as parsley, thyme, rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Step by Step Instructions

1. Start by thoroughly cleaning and chopping your mixed vegetables. You can use a combination of your favorite veggies, but make sure they add up to 2 cups.

2. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the chopped vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast them for about 20 minutes or until they are slightly browned and tender.

3. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool down. Once cooled, process them in a food processor until they form a fine powder.

4. In a bowl, combine the vegetable powder, salt, dried herbs, black pepper, and minced garlic. Mix them well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

5. Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out into a thin layer. This will help it dry out evenly.

6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let the mixture dry out for approximately 2-3 hours. Make sure to stir it every 30 minutes to ensure even drying.

7. Once completely dry and crumbly, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool down.

8. Finally, transfer the dried mixture into an airtight container or grind it to a finer consistency in a blender or food processor.

How to Use the Homemade Granulated Stock Cube

To use your homemade granulated stock cube, simply dissolve 1 tablespoon of the mixture in 1 cup of hot water. Stir well until the cube is fully dissolved, and then use it as you would with store-bought stock cubes. It’s perfect for enhancing the flavor of soups, stews, sauces, and more!

So, give it a try and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing exactly what goes into your stock cubes. You’ll never want to go back to store-bought alternatives again!
