Homemade Veggie Bouillon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 ounces leeks, sliced and well-washed
7 ounces fennel bulbs, chopped
7 ounces carrots, well scrubbed and chopped
3 1/2 ounces celery
3 1/2 ounces celery root, peeled and chopped (celeriac)
1 ounce sun-dried tomato
3 1/2 ounces shallots, peeled
3 medium garlic cloves
9 ounces fine grain sea salt
1 1/2 ounces flat leaf parsley, loosely chopped
2 ounces cilantro, loosely chopped

Preparation

Place the first four ingredients in your food processor and pulse about twenty times. Add the next four ingredients, and pulse again. Add the salt, pulse some more. Then add the parsley and cilantro. You may need to scoop some of the chopped vegetables on top of the herbs, so they get chopped. Mine tended to want to stay on top of everything else, initially escaping the blades.
You should end up with a moist, loose paste of sorts. Keep 1/4th of it in a jar in the refrigerator for easy access in the coming days, and freeze the remaining 3/4 for use in the next month. Because of all the salt it barely solidifies making it easy to spoon directly from the freezer into the pot before boiling.
Start by using 1 teaspoon of bouillon per 1 cup (250 ml), and adjust from there based on your personal preference.
Makes roughly 3 1/2 cups.
