Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Put the bones in a small saucepan and add just enough cold water to cover. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer, skimming off any foam that forms on top, 10 minutes. Place the remaining ingredients in a bowl. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve into the bowl. Discard the bones. Steep the stock with the vegetables 1 minute. Strain again. Discard the vegetables. Keeps, covered in the refrigerator, up to 2 days.
