Prateek Sadhu: Stocking up on stock
How can you make non-vegetarian or vegetarian stock and use it for the whole week, especially with offices opening up or WFH becoming more hectic?
Taking stock
Tell me how to get chicken and meat stock ready at home. How long can I keep it, and what can I use it in?
—Dhruti Shah, Mumbai
The best thing you can do is save all the vegetable trimmings at home. You can save them and freeze them. I just put them into the cooker with water, bay leaves and pepper, wait for about 4-5 whistles, and get this silky vegetable broth after straining the mix. Freeze the stock in ice cube trays and use it. Same goes with chicken stock, use a pressure cooker to extract the maximum flavour. Use it in soups, bhaji, to make pulao, literally anything!
