Roasted Vegetable Stock

  • Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 Whole Head of Garlic1 Large Onion, quartered2 Large Carrots, cut into 1 inch chunks1 Large Parsnip, cut into 1 inch chunks1 Large Stalk of Celery, cut into 1 inch chunks1 Large Turnip, cut into 1 inch chunks1/2 cup Fresh Parsley Leaves2 Bay Leaves1/2-1 tsp Peppercorns, whole1 Tbsp Lite Soy Sauce7 Cups Water
Directions
Roast the garlic and vegetables at the same time. Peel off only the outer, very papery skin of the garlic. Use a sharp knife to cut about 1/2 inch off the top (pointy end) of the head. Place it cut-side up in a oven-proof dish about the same size as the garlic or one opening of a muffin tin. Spray the cut surface with a bit of no-stick cooking spray. Cover it tightly with foil, and place it in a 450F oven. Bake it for 30 minutes, remove the cover, and bake for about 10-15 more--you will see the cloves begin to rise out of their paper a little. Allow to cool, and squeeze or scrape the roasted garlic out of the skins, into a small dish.
Roast all of the vegetables, turning occasionally for approx 30 minutes in a shallow roasting pan lightly sprayed with no-stick coooking spray.

Transfer the vegetables and garlic to a large stock pot or slow cooker. Add the parsley, bay leaves, peppercorns and soy sauce. Simmer for 1 hour or all day in the slow cooker. Strain out the vegetables. If a thicker stock is desired, remove the bay leaves and discard, then puree and add back some of the vegetables.
