VEGETABLE BROWN RICE



Vegetable Brown Rice image

Loaded with carrots, onions and peas, this rice makes a terrific side dish, but it can even stand on its own as a light main course. Raisins offer a slight sweetness, and pecans add a little crunch. --Denith Hull of Bethany, Oklahoma

This delicious stock has a depth of flavor that comes from roasting the vegetables. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, but avoid anything too strongly flavored, such as broccoli or cabbage, as they will overwhelm the stock.

This roasted vegetable stock from Nigel Slater simmers miso-roasted vegetables with dried mushrooms and herbs to create the most flavorful vegetable broth we've ever experienced.

Provided by Nigel Slater

Categories     Mains

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium (about 1 lb) onions (chopped, peels reserved)
9 ounces carrots (chopped)
2 stalks (3 1/2 oz) celery (chopped)
A small whole head garlic (separated into cloves)
3 tablespoons light miso paste
1/3 cup water (plus 3 quarts (3 liters))
1 3/4 ounces dried shiitake mushrooms
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
10 sprigs fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
12 black peppercorns
1/3 ounce dried kombu

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large roasting pan, combine the onions, onion peels, carrots, celery, and garlic cloves.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste and 1/3 cup of water. Stir this into the vegetables, coating them lightly.
  • Roast, tossing the vegetables once or twice during cooking, until everything is brown, fragrant, and toasty, 45 to 60 minutes. Keep a close eye on the vegetables towards the end so as not to let them take on a scorched taste.☞TESTER TIP: If your vegetables look like they're drying out or the miso is beginning to burn, drizzle an additional 1/3 cup water over the vegetables while they are roasting.
  • Pile the roasted vegetables and aromatics in a large pot. Add the shiitake, rosemary, thyme, bay, peppercorns, and kombu, and then pour a little of the 3 quarts of water into the roasting pan, scraping up the caramelized bits stuck to the pan, then pour all that into the saucepan. Add the remaining water.
  • Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered with a lid, until the broth is a deep brown color and has a rich flavor, 45 to 60 minutes
  • Pour the broth through a sieve into a heatproof bowl and let cool.
  • Cover and refrigerate and use as necessary. It will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge or can be frozen for up to 3 months.

ULTIMATE BROWNED VEGETABLE STOCK



Ultimate Browned Vegetable Stock image

This is my all-time favorite vegetable stock; the richness of this stock belies its simplicity. It loans its full-bodied flavor to almost any soup. It is the only veggie stock I will use to make my Recipe #150699 (Aka Hangover Soup), it would be a shame to make that soup any other way... a real shame. I originally found the recipe in a cookbook titled Soup and Bread: A Country Inn Cookbook, and have since adjusted it a bit. I also usually double the batch as it seems that 4 cups is never enough for us, and it freezes well. You can also add as many shiitake mushroom stems as you want (say 1 -3 cups) to the browned vegetables with the water for even more flavor. The variation which follows is sheer heaven: the ambrosia of soup stocks. Note: This recipe yields a little over 4 cups, if you are making my Hangover Soup recipe you will needs to double this recipe.
