  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              large  onion -- white or yellow onion, quartered
  2             medium  carrots -- roughly chopped
  2                     celery stalks -- roughly chopped
  5                     garlic cloves
  2                     bay leaves
  1            Handful  herbs -- (parsley, dill, thyme, chives, oregano, etc.)
  4               cups  vegetable trimmings -- (parsnip, corncobs, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, scallions, 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 the vegetables down will extract more liquid and flavor
but may muddy the stock). Refrigerate and use for up to 3 or 4 days, or
freeze in a sealed container for longer storage.
 
MAKES APPROXIMATELY 2 QUARTS
 
I never plan on making a stock; it just happens when I've accumulated
enough vegetable trimmings. But I always start with carrot, celery, onion,
garlic, tender herbs, and bay leaves. I will toss in corncobs, parsnip,
parsley stems, mushroom stems, fennel, and asparagus if I have them, but I
don't go out of my way to get them if I don't. just avoid any cruciferous
vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, or kale, which will dominate the
stock with a strong off-putting flavor. Also, avoid strong herbs such as
sage, rosemary, or too much marjoram. If you saute the aromatics
beforehand, especially mushrooms and stems, the stock will be richer and
more robust and better suited for heartier recipes.
