i'm working on the broth

i started with
a cup of chickpeas
a cup of new age rose
1/2 lemon wedged
2 cups water
garlic
white pepper
turmeric
and
4T nutritional yeast

i let that cook on high about an hour

i added
a small onion
4 stalks of celery heart
4T toasted sesame oil
4T avocado oil
herbs de provence
dill weed
cumin seed
2 squares of kombu
1/2t dijon mustard
1/2t smoked paprika
1/2t better than bullion
a small piece of shitaki mushroom


i thought i had carrots
but
i guess i don't
that's the main reason for the better than bullion
that
and
a tiny tiny bit of tomato taste
below the register hopefully

it has too much top right now
but
it's a nicely complex top
i'm hoping
the chickpeas will develop
with the smoked paprika
and kombu
to create a full bottom
and the oil
is for flavor
and texture

avocado oil is kinda buttery
and toasted sesame
has a roasted or slightly bacon-y flavor
i'm hoping
between the two
to develop something
that will feel like
when you cook a whole chicken in water
slowly
for a long time
and you get that thick rich broth

i have another bottle of wine
this one a white table blend
which is slightly sweet
which i am prepared to add

i hope hope hope it works
