Sarasota's Mushroom Broth/Stock
"Store bought Mushroom Broth/Stock can be pricey and sometimes way to salty for my tastes. This is a easy recipe and comes out very flavorful every time. When I cook with mushrooms, I always save the stems - I have a large baggie in the freezer, and when it is full ... it is time to make the broth. I do add some fresh white/button mushrooms; and, I also add some dried porcinis for a rich flavor; but this is easy to make. Unlike beef broth, I find mushroom broth very rich, so I tend to use less of it when cooking with it. It is also very good mixed with a beef stock."

- 10 cups (approximately) mushrooms, stems and whole button mushrooms, cut in quarters
- 1 (3-5 ounce) small package dried porcini mushrooms (you can add as many as you want; more will provide a richer broth)
- 1 medium carrot, rough chopped (no need to peel)
- 1 medium onion, rough chopped (no need to peel)
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed (skins on)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons worcestershire
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- 15 black peppercorns
- Salt to taste
- 14 to 16 cups water
What You Will Need
No special items needed.
Step 1
Broth/Stock ... Add everything to a large stock pot. The water amount can vary according to the size of the pot you use. But, you basically want the mushrooms to be covered, by approximately 1/2" of water. Don't exceed 16 cups - 14 is idea if it covers all your mushrooms.
Step 2
Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, uncovered. Then strain the broth, return to the heat, add the worcestershire, season with salt, and continue to simmer until you are left with approximately 7-8 cups of broth, probably another 15-20 minutes. Cool, refrigerate or freeze, and ENJOY!
