Someone asked for stock tips in one of my Facebook groups. My suggestion of Knorrs chicken stock concentrate is currently the most popular answer. I am very proud.
I'm going to be controversial and suggest massel chicken stock cubes
@Seagoon_ @RustyRaven I'll second that vote for Massel.
Better yet, it's plant based, which makes it good for adding flavour to any vegetarian or vegan dishes you have to cook.
Thirded. I like the lower salt ones. Not as keen on the โbeefโ
Lower salt is why I use them.
@Catfish @Seagoon_ @melbourne If you ever have to cook for a vegetarian or a vegan, a good substitute for mince is the textured vegetable protein from Woolies with Massel chicken.
For those who've never used it, you find the TVP as a dry powder in the health food aisle.
Basically, you mix it up as per the packet instructions, but add in one teaspoon of Massel, plus herbs, spices, and seasonings. (I usually use a pinch of cumin, pepper, and paprika.)
Best of all, because it's dry, it will happily live in your cupboard for an extended period of time.
Iโm a ex-vegetarian, but thanks
Atleast it's real chicken. Sorry guys, Massel should be renamed Clayton's. I'm an Oxo gal all the way. I like flavour.
I'm an absolute wanker and splurge on San Elk vegetable stock powder. Look, I don't use stock powder that much, but when I do, I want it to be goddamn delicious
yes to knorrs
