The court bouillon is a classic vegetable-based stock typically used either as a base for poaching fish, or as a base for making sauces to accompany fish.

Ingredients:

2l water
450g carrots, sliced
3 shallots (or two medium onions), peeled and sliced
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of thyme
45g salt
150ml cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
1 bunch of parsley
12 black peppercorns

Method:

Preparing a court bouillon is simplicity itself. Simply combine all the ingredients (except the black peppercorns) in a pan then bring to a simmer and cook for 50 minutes. Add the black peppercorns at this point and simmer for 10 minutes more.

Take off the heat and strain through a fine-meshed sieve. Allow to cool and use, as needed.
