Don't throw away your vegetable scraps! Learn how to turn leftover vegetables into delicious, all-natural, homemade vegan stock cubes that you can store and use for months to enhance the flavor of your recipes.
Gather your leftover vegetables and make sure they are clean and edible. Chop the vegetables into smaller pieces. Sauté them with 2 tbsp of olive oil until they release all the flavors and most of the water has evaporated. Let the veg cool for a bit. In a blender add the cooked vegetables, garlic, spices and herbs, salt & black pepper. Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth puree. Line a flat, shallow pan with parchment paper. Pour the vegetable puree onto the pan and smooth it out evenly. Place the pan in the freezer and let it freeze until it’s solid. Remove the frozen vegetable puree from the pan and cut it into cubes. (Optional) Wrap each cube in parchment paper or place them in an airtight container. Store the wrapped cubes in the freezer.
