Ingredients
- 6 peppercorns
- 4 fish trimmings
- 4 sprigs parsley
- 2 stalks celery
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 1 onion (peeled)
- 3,800 ml water
- 240 ml dry wine (white)
- 30 ml lemon juice
BRING THE WATER AND WINE to a boil over high heat. Wash all the fish trimmings. Add the fish trimmings, lemon juice, onion, celery, parsley, thyme and peppercorns to the pot. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat so that it is barely simmering, and simmer for 2 hours. Strain the stock, extracting as much liquid as possible from the solids. Discard the solids, and allow the stock to reach room temperature before refrigerating or freezing. Makes 3 litre s. The stock can be refrigerated up to four days, or frozen for up to six months.
