Save vegetable scraps for broth

Save vegetable scraps for broth

1. Keep all of your vegetable scraps from prepping, e.g. peels, onion skins, small scrap pieces, asparagus bottoms, broccolis stems, etc..
2. Put all the scraps into a freezer-safe ziploc or container.
3. When a large quantity is gathered, simmer scraps in a pot of water with aromatics such as thyme or bay leaves for about an hour.
4. Pour through fine mesh sieve to remove any chunks. Place chunks in your compost bin.
5. Store in the fridge or freezer once cooled to room temperature, or use immediately.
