Moosewood makes stock every day for soups and stews using this basic recipe, sometimes adding some of the optional vegetables or herbs when they are close at hand. (Yields 2 quarts of finished stock.)
Scrub the unpeeled vegetables and cut into chunks. Place in a stockpot with bay leaves and peppercorns; cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for an hour or more.
Strain the stock through a colander or cloth, pressing out the liquid from the vegetables. (The remaining solid vegetables make good compost material or can be discarded.)
The stock will keep refrigerated for 3 to 4 days, or may be frozen in 1 to 6 cup quantities.
Vegetables should be rinsed, but there is no need to peel them. Avoid such strongly flavored vegetables as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, peppers, and turnips.
Variation: For stock with an Asian flavor, add 4 or 5 quarter-size slices of fresh gingerroot and water from soaking dried shitake mushrooms.
Optional Vegetables or Herbs: Garlic cloves, Leeks ( including the tough green leaves), Mushrooms (whole or stems), Parsley including stems, Parsnips, Scallions, Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes (in small amounts only or the stock may be too acidic), Winter squash, Zucchini or Summer squash.
