This sounds better than the TM stock concentrate we use at present...fantastic, as usual Thermomixer!

[cookie1]

I need to make some more, so will try this one this time.  I use the thermomix stock concentrate exclusively now, it really livens things up, especially risottos.  Will report back.

[Amanda]

I'll be giving it a try, too, thanks for sharing.
Like Cookie, I use the TM stock concentrate exclusively and love it, but this one looks better.

[baf65]

personally I'd cut the salt down to about 120g to 150g
i find the TM out the recipe book too salty

Tenina, please check the recipe in the Full Steam Ahead book - that is where I stole this from (the Italian version anyhow) 

[faffa_70]

From memory, I cut the salt down to 100g from 150g using the recipe in the TM book. The salt is there as a preservative more than anything and I use it exclusively too and use it up rather rapidly. I still find it a little salty and may play with reducing the salt some more. I will report back if I THINK to change it with the next batch.

Thanks for the recipe Thermomixer.  I just made it (with reduced salt) and will let you know how it tastes.

I can give you all a few tips, though.  They're all related to reading the recipe properly first!!!!!

1.  Take the parmesan OUT like the recipe says.  Trust me on this - the clean up if you don't will be a nightmare.  It catches.

2.  Read right through so that you register that this is not like a conventional stock - you will not be draining the broth off the vegetables.

3.  Peel the onions, don't leave the peel on to give colour (see tip 2 above).

4.  De-string the celery, don't think the strings will be strained out at the end (see tip 2 above)

OK, so I should have looked here FIRST!
I had something similar to this in the recipe book that came with my machine, but it referred to ingredients that weren't in the ingredient list (so no quantities). I went to the Italian site and spent a couple of hours messing around with translators and finally pieced it together, only to come here and find... Voilà-- the recipe I had been looking for.

Next time...

Then, of course, there is Bron's vegetable stock in this section too Aunt Annie so you now have quite a choice

[AuntAnnie]

Oooh, I just took a look at Bron's too. With the parsnip and turnip it will be great for winter! Thanks for calling my attention to it.

[brazen20au]

i haven't tried the aussie one but i LOVE brons one!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to "bump" this recipe for those who haven't seen it - it is a great alternative to the vege stock paste that is in the EDC.  The parmesan cheese makes a really tasty addition.  I alternate betweeen the EDC stock paste, this Italian stock paste version and bron's spanish stock paste - depending on what vegies and herbs we have on hand.

[astarra]

my favourite flavour adder!! I love this stock! My DH comments on how much tastier food is with the TM - I tell him its this stock!! THANK YOU!!

[obbie]

  This is the one I make now.
great.
