Dark Vegetable Stock
» Moosewood Collective, Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special, page 18. Very good
Not particularly good for risotto (our stock testing vehicle), because it's just not flavorful enough on its own. But it has a surprising "meatiness" to it (like beef, not chicken). I plan to try it in soups where a plain beef broth would be good—barley soup, french onion soup, vegetable soup, and the like.
Update: I tried it as the stock for Deborah Madison's Barley Soup with Carmelized Onions and Pecorino Cheese. It added a bit of darkness to the flavor, but in this soup it wasn't a very noticable difference. [ 08.04.06 ]
