Recently, I’ve 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’m a fan! But, I really disdain purchasing them… the individual wrapping for each cube, the palm oil… eek. It’s not how I like to cook (or eat!). So, like many of my best recipes, I set about making a HOMEMADE version! And I’m 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
-
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!
Makes 2 Cups
Ingredients
200g salt (fine or rock salt)
2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp yellow mustard seeds
2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp celery seeds
1 tsp ground turmeric
Method
Thermomix & Thermo Cooker:
-
Place all ingredients in TC bowl, mill for 2 minutes, speed 10.
Conventional:
-
Place all ingredients in a small food processor and blitz for 2 minutes on high, or until a fine powder is formed.
Store in an airtight glass jar. Use whenever stock cubes or stock powder is specified in a recipe (2 tsp per stock cube). Healthier, better for the environment, cheaper!
