THANKS!

[@anthonyedwards6386]

You need to pour it into your cooking base gravy thru a fine sieve. Forgot to mention Steven?

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Anthony Edwards you can use it for a wide variety of things. Biryani, precooking meat & chicken and of course a base sauce.

[@anthonyedwards6386]

Yup. Sorry. I'm just a knob. Never thought about wider applications.

European bay leaves are not poisonous. You may be confused with spurge laurel, which looks identical but has no scent; that is poisonous. If European bay leaves were toxic, no one would cook with them.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

You are absolutely right Ruby. I take back my statement as I have since learnt the truth. :)

[@justplayflute]

Thanks for that! Do you make larger quantities and store it like other stock (and if so, for how long)? Or making it fresh every time?

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

Hi Charles, No I make it fresh and use it straight away. No harm in storing it in the fridge for up to four days though :)

[@justplayflute]

Ok, thanks (Y)

[@marconeill9510]

Could you toast and grind these all up in a grinder then boil them and add the whole lot to a base gravy? Saves throwing all the spices away.

[@StevenHeapRecipes]

I think it would be far too bity, all you want to achieve for best results us yet the flavour.

[@marconeill9510]

Steven Heap I made a traditional style curry that had almost all of these spices in and that’s what I did, toasted n grinded them and it came out fine. My only worry would be the flavour would be too much if I used the same method for this stock. I’m going to give a few of your recipes a go soon. Cheers!
