About this recipe
Allergen-friendly vegetable stock paste Thermomix TM7 is the homemade answer to shop-bought stock cubes packed with unknown additives. This recipe brings together carrots, onions, tomatoes, courgettes, fresh mushrooms, garlic, parsley and mixed herbs in one mixing bowl, where the all-in-one kitchen machine chops everything into a fine, uniform paste in mere seconds. Coarse sea salt acts as a natural preservative, so a few spoonfuls keep for weeks in the fridge, ready to enrich soups, sauces, risottos and casseroles. Because you choose every ingredient yourself, this stock paste is automatically gluten-free, lactose-free, nut-free and egg-free, making it ideal for families managing allergies or intolerances. Searching for vegetable stock paste recipes that suit a special diet ends here. It is also a brilliant zero-waste solution for using up courgettes, tomatoes and herbs before they spoil, turning a fridge full of vegetables into a concentrated flavour bomb for quick weeknight dinners.
Preparation tips
- Cut the carrots, courgettes and onions into rough chunks before adding them to the mixing bowl so the blade catches every piece and the paste turns evenly fine without large chunks remaining.
- Store the finished stock paste in a clean, sterilised glass jar in the fridge. Because the coarse sea salt acts as a natural preservative, the paste keeps for several weeks — always use a dry spoon to scoop it out.
- Add the dried bay leaf and mixed herbs according to your own taste. For a milder paste suitable for children, reduce the garlic; for a deeper savoury note, add extra mushrooms or a few sun-dried tomatoes.
Recipe variations
- Herb-free version: omit the mixed herbs and parsley and replace them with fresh basil and a strip of lemon zest for a lighter, summer stock paste that pairs beautifully with fish soups and risotto.
- Zero-waste seasonal variant: use up whatever the garden or fridge offers, such as leek tops, celery leaves, fennel trimmings or leftover courgette, keeping the same total weight of vegetables for a consistent paste texture.
Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- Chopping the carrots, onions and courgettes in seconds, the Thermomix creates an even paste base without any manual knife work.
- Grinding the dried bay leaf and mixed herbs finely, the TM7 distributes their aroma evenly throughout the salt-preserved paste.
- Mixing the coarse sea salt with the vegetable mixture, the Thermomix blends everything into a uniform preserving paste ready for the fridge.
- Weighing the vegetables directly in the mixing bowl, the built-in scale of the Thermomix guarantees the right salt-to-vegetable ratio every batch.
- Heating is never needed, so the TM7 keeps the fresh parsley and mushrooms raw, preserving their bright colour and full flavour in the paste.
