Free Recipe · Thermomix Pantry Staple
A homemade chicken-style stock powder made in your Thermomix, without the chicken and without the nasties.
This homemade chicken stock powder is made in the Thermomix in about 10 minutes with ten pantry ingredients, and the recipe makes 2 cups.
Recently, I have found myself cooking with a lot of chicken-style stock cubes. These add big flavour to dishes with pretty much no effort, so you can imagine I am a fan. But I really disdain purchasing them: the individual wrapping for each cube, the palm oil, eek. It is not how I like to cook (or eat!). So, like many of my best recipes, I set about making a homemade version. And I am pretty chuffed with the results, if I do say so myself.
My version is MSG free, palm oil free, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, soy free and nut free, and it tastes just like chicken stock powder.
Whip up a batch and store it in a jar in the pantry. Use 2 teaspoons whenever a recipe calls for a stock cube. Perfect!
