Stock
A stock recipe is a dish that is made in advance and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for future use. The word “stock” comes from the French word “estoc,” meaning a supply or store.
The first recorded use of the word “stock” in English was in the 14th century, but the concept of preparing food in advance is much older. In ancient Rome, cooks would make large batches of food that could be reheated and served as needed.
During the Middle Ages, stocks were often made with meat, fish, or vegetables that were cooked in water or wine. These stocks could be kept for months or even years.
Advice
When it comes to making stock, the most important advice is to start with the best ingredients. Choose high-quality bones and vegetables, and make sure they are fresh. When it comes to seasoning, less is more. Use just enough salt and other seasonings to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients. Additionally, do not over-reduce the stock, as this can ruin the flavor. Finally, strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer before using, to ensure a smooth texture.
