Chef's Notes



MUST HAVE: Make sure your vegetable scraps have some celery, carrot and onion in them for a flavour base.  If you don't, throw some in.  LEAVE OUT: Leave out seeds (like the inner part of bell peppers / capsicum) and cruciferous veggies like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts.  This will cause your stock to become very bitter.  Also ditch any mouldy vegetables.RINSE:  Make sure you rinse your vegetable scraps before popping them into slow cooker to remove any dirt.STORAGE:  Stock will keep in fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. INSPIRATION: Recipe adapted from The Healthy Maven.UPDATES: First Published July 19, 2018. Last Updated December 9, 2018 with more photos & tips.  No changes to the recipe. NUTRITION: Nutrition information is a rough estimate based on 1 cup.
