Italian
Italian-Style Vegetable Stock
A light, aromatic vegetable stock made with fresh onions, leeks, celery, carrots, fennel, and tomatoes. Perfect for risottos, soups, sauces, and other dishes where chicken or veal stock might overpower the delicate flavors of the ingredients. This stock emphasizes fresh, high-quality vegetables rather than scraps. Starting with cold water allows the vegetables to gradually release their flavors, while keeping the tomatoes whole helps produce a clean, clear stock.
