How to Steam Food
Ingredients
- 1 quart chicken stock homemade or canned is fine
- 1 cup white wine
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 celery rib chopped
- 1 carrot chopped
- 10 peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 parsley sprigs
- 2 sprigs of thyme
Instructions
- Since salt does not evaporate, there is no need to add salt to this mixture if you are only using it for a steaming liquid.
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Use as much or as little of this liquid as you need to fill your steaming vessel by about ¾-1 inch.
