Preparation of Granular Stock Cube
Clean all the vegetables you have chosen, cut them into cubes, weigh them (net of waste) and place them in a bowl.
Add salt in an amount equal to one-third of the weight of the previously verified vegetables and season with one chopped clove of garlic, a bit of extra virgin olive oil, and some chopped parsley, mixing thoroughly.Line a baking dish or the oven tray with a sheet of baking paper and spread the seasoned vegetables on it, leveling them so as not to overlap.
Bake in a static oven at 250°F for an hour.Then transfer them to a microwave-safe dish (a few at a time so as not to overlap them), and cook at 800 Watts for five minutes (or read “FAQs” at the end of the recipe).
Then blend them in a mixer until you obtain a fine mixture.
Store your granular stock cube in clean glass jars, in a cool and dry place.
