Tomato Broth by Natalia Rose Institute Staff
4 large tomatoes
3 unsulfured sun dried tomatoes
2 zucchinis
1/2 packet baby carrots
2 bay leaves
1 small onion
4 green onions
large handful parsley
large handful dill
top w/ paprika
Simmer all ingredients together for an hour, then strain.
All-Purpose Vegetable Stock
Makes approximately 2 quarts
Start with carrot, celery, onion, garlic, tender herbs, and bay leaves. You can toss in corncobs, parsnip, parsley stems, mush- room stems, fennel, and asparagus if you have them. Avoid any cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, or kale, which will dominate the stock with a strong off-putting flavor and strong herbs such as sage, rosemary, or too much marjoram. If you sau- te the aromatics beforehand, especially mushrooms and stems, the stock will be richer and more robust.
1 large white or yellow onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
5 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
Handful of herbs (parsley, dill, thyme, chives, oregano, etc.)
4 cups any vegetable trimmings (parsnip, corncob, zucchini, tomato, mushroom, scallion, etc.)
3 quarts water
Toss all ingredients in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour, until vegetables are soft. Strain through a sieve (pressing vegetables down will extract more liquid but muddy the stock). Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days, or freeze in a sealed container for longer storage.
Natalia’s “White Witch’s Brew”
1 handful parsley
1 leek, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
5 carrots, chopped
1 bunch collards, chopped
1 1” ginger piece, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 cups Pacific brand veggie broth
2 cups water
Simmer all together for 45min. The longer it sits after cooking, the more flavor it will develop. Before serving, strain all of the vegetables out using a mesh sieve. Enjoy on a chilly evening!
Citrus Granita
Makes 1 pint
Granita can be made by juicing fresh citrus fruits such as lemon, blood oranges, yuzus, kalamansi, or grapefruits and adding stevia to sweeten. Herbs such as mint, cilantro, and even rosemary can be added for a twist. Try mixing different types of citrus juices for more depth.
1 cup fresh citrus juice
1 cup pure water
Stevia to taste
Combine all ingredients and pour into a shallow pan. Freeze until icy around the edges. Stir the icy portions with a fork into the middle of the pan. Freeze again, occasionally scraping the edges into the center, until completely frozen (about 6 hours).
