When you think of stock you generally imagine a delicious vegetable soup boiling on the stove, but stock can be added to many other foods to give them a delicious flavor. It is healthy and gives your meal an easy boost that maybe you hadn’t thought of before. Here are three ways to use stock to make your meals even tastier.
Lentil Chickpea Salad
Add some extra flavor to a really easy and filling salad made with lentils and chickpeas, by cooking the lentils in vegetable stock. Once the lentils are cooked, add some canned chickpeas, and vegetables of choice, and sprinkle some parsley on top for decoration.
Pesto Pasta
Pesto pasta is already delicious and an easy weekday meal but you can kick it up a notch by adding some vegetable stock to the pesto, halving the amount of olive oil used and it will be the best meal you have eaten. It is super healthy and filling.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
This sweet side dish can be made a little healthier by swapping out half the milk for some vegetable stock. It will make it a little more savory but delicious.
