Ingredients

  • 4 cups 1 litre water
  • 1 onion cut in halves, skin left on
  • 1 garlic bulb sliced in half
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped in halves
  • 2 celery stalks cut in halves
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 3 fresh parsley stems
  • ¼ fennel bulb or 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds
  • 10 whole black peppercorns

Instructions

  • Add water to the bottom of the stainless steel pot.
  • Put all of the ingredients.
  • Cover with the lid, make sure that the valve is in sealing position.
  • Click on manual or pressure cooking, then click on high pressure and cook for 5 minutes.
  • When the cooking ends, let the steam release naturally for 20-25 minutes.
  • Carefully open the lid, and strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve and discard vegetables.
  • Let it cool completely and store in the fridge or freeze.

  • To make chicken stock, just add a few chicken wings to the water along with the vegetables and everything else remains the same.
  • Note that every 6 cubes are equal to half a cup of stock.
