Stock and trade

With the veggies sauteed, the stock is added.

Bring to the boil, then simmer for a further 15 minutes.

 

I'm using a maslin pan (large volume, thick and even base for consistent heat transfer, big surface area to promote evaporation which will intensify the taste).

 

Brussels sprouts are labor-intensive, but worth the effort for the color and flavor.

 

That's a bay leaf, not some detritus that's blown in the window.
