About

Cooking and glazing vegetables with chicken stock maximises their flavour. Only a small quantity of stock is added to the vegetables. As they cook and the stock reduces, the flavours are intensified and the vegetables will become sticky and glazed. This is how I cook most of the vegetables in the restaurant.

Method

Start to fry the vegetables in olive oil following the recipe. Cook for 5 minutes until they start to caramelise. Season, then add the butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme plus cumin and star anise.
Cook for a further 2 minutes, then add the stock and reduce until the vegetables become sticky and shiny. If they are not quite cooked
