A standard commercial stock cube can cost more than 2 euros (especially if it's advertised as "organic"...) and that doesn't mean it's truly as natural as it's advertised. On the contrary, if prepared at home, with a simple and quick recipe, it's certainly genuine, and it also allows you to recover and avoid wasting food. vegetable leftovers and vegetables.

  • 800 g of coarse salt and various flavourings such as rosemary, sage, parsley, basil, bay leaves
  • If you like exotic flavours, you can also add a pinch of curry or chili pepper

  • Wash the vegetables well without drying them (this will prevent them from sticking to the pan) and the herbs.
