Cooking
- Transfer the roasted vegetables from the oven dish to a large cooking pot. Add the tomato puree, bay leaves, thyme, clove, peppercorns and salt. Pour in 2,5 liters of water and bring it to a boil. Let it cook for about 3 hours.
- You can of course let it cook for a shorter amount of time. However this will impact the complexity in taste 😉
- Place a fine sieve on a bowl and pour the stock through it. Let the stock cool down. It will stay good for about 2 days in your refrigerator.
- Preferring to store it for a longer period? Pour the stock in an ice cube tray and freeze it. It will stay good for about 5 months.
