Homemade stock is really worth having and can, at its most basic, be constructed in half an hour from the humblest ingredients. It freezes well and if space is at a premium, you can boil it once strained until it’s reduced right down to a strong-tasting liquor, then pour into an ice cube tray. When you come to use, add quite a bit of water. And if you’re also short on ice cube trays, transfer the frozen cubes to a plastic bag.
