Vegetable Broth
A basic broth made simply of vegetables that can be used to flavor many recipes. You can use your own choice of fresh seasonal vegetables, but just use ones that complement each other and avoid ones that have too strong of a flavor.
Cooks Tip: Save some of the broth and pour into plastic ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen remove the cubes and place them in plastic bags and store in the freezer. These cubes can be used to add flavor to any recipe, or to cook vegetables, allowing you to decrease the amount of oil used.
Buon Appetito!
