What is your reaction when you need to add vegetable broth cubes to your favorite recipe, and just realize that a broth (broth cubes) are finished?!
Calm down! Today I found the way to stay calm in this situation and make a rich spicy veggie bouillon to nourish home cooking in just a few minutes:) No gluten, no palm oil, no starch or other “goodies”:)
Ingredients:
- bay leaf, 3-4 pcs
- allspice (Jamaica pepper or pimenta), 5-10 pcs
- white horseradish, dry powdered, 1 tsp
- marjoram (Origanum majorana), 1 tsp
- nutmeg, freshly grated or milled, 1/4 tsp
- bell pepper flakes, 1 Tbsp
- water, 1-2 cups (100-200 ml)
How to make it:
- mix all species in a small pot
- pour hot, just boiled water (boiled in a kettle, for example) to a mixture and bring to a boil on a stove
- simmer for 5 minutes
- remove from a stove-top and let it sit for 5 minutes more
- strain a broth. It is ready!
Important notes:
- Take just minimum of nutmeg, in bigger amount it gives bitter taste to food
- Better to use species in flakes or whole leaves, whole grains, because if using all ingredients in powder form, the ready broth would be cloudy, even if filtered
- If prefer to change the initial ingredients listed above, choose those which are not too spicy-hot, or replace only with one hot spicy ingredient
- Simmer species for no longer than 5 minutes, because bay leafs give bitter taste to food if overcooked
