TIPS
- Use Organic Ingredients: This enhances flavour and avoids pesticide residues, especially important for parsley.
- Chop Finely: Smaller pieces extract flavour and nutrients more efficiently into the broth.
- Do Not Over-Zest: Too much lemon zest may overpower the broth; half a teaspoon adds the perfect lift.
- Pepper Boost: Freshly ground black pepper supports the absorption of nutrients and adds gentle warmth.
- Double The Batch: This broth stores well, which makes it extra to enjoy throughout the day.
VARIATIONS
- Add Garlic: A slice of raw or lightly simmered garlic enhances immune-supportive properties.
- Include Fennel: Thinly sliced fennel bulb provides extra digestive support and a hint of sweetness.
- Boost Protein: Add 1 tsp nutritional yeast for savoury flavour and a slight protein bump.
- Herb Swap: Use fresh dill or basil in place of parsley for a different herbal profile.
- Include Carrot Tops: Finely chopped carrot greens blend beautifully with parsley and are highly nutritious.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store cooled broth in a glass jar with a lid for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- Freezing: Pour cooled broth into silicone ice cube trays or small freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat Gently: Warm on low heat to preserve fresh herbal notes, and do not boil when reheating.
- Batch preparation: Chop a large amount of parsley and celery ahead of time and freeze in portioned packs to streamline future prep.
- Use Leftovers Creatively: The strained solids can be blended into dips or stirred into grain salads.
