Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Slow Cooker (5 minutes): Coat the bottom of a slow cooker crock with olive oil.

02

Step

Combine Ingredients (10 minutes): Add celery, carrots, potato, onion, lettuce, beer, shallots, fennel, bell pepper, apple, parsley, peppercorns, lemon, ginger, tamari, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaf into the slow cooker crock. Pour water over the ingredients.

03

Step

Slow Cook (8-10 hours on Low or 4 hours on High): Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or on High for 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.

04

Step

Remove Solids (5 minutes): Remove and discard all solid chunks from the liquid using a slotted spoon.

05

Step

Strain the Broth (10 minutes): Line a colander with cheesecloth and set over a large pot; strain broth through the cheesecloth to achieve a clear, refined stock.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetable scraps! The possibilities are endless. Avoid using cruciferous vegetables like broccoli or cabbage in large quantities, as they can overpower the flavor.
For a richer, more intense flavor, roast the vegetables before adding them to the slow cooker.
The finished stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.

    This stock is amazing! So much better than store-bought and I love that I can use up all my veggie scraps.

    I added some mushroom stems and it gave the stock a really nice umami flavor.
