Recipe for Vegetable Jus

BY OUR HEAD CHEFS

Vegetable Jus

A homemade vegetable jus forms a nutrient-rich, low-calorie foundation in a consciously oriented kitchen. By preparing it yourself, you keep full control over the amount of salt and added aromas, creating an exceptionally flavorful base for soups, sauces, and more. Homemade vegetable broth is the perfect companion to a healthy diet, as it is full of flavor and valuable nutrients.

This intense jus was developed by our Überlingen head chefs, Steve Flügge and Dominik Groß. Using fresh carrots, celery, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs, they create a nourishing base ingredient that perfectly reflects our Buchinger Wilhelmi longevity lifestyle.

Here’s the preparation method & how to cook it yourself

Preparation

Peel and dice the carrots, celery and onion. Heat the olive oil in a large pot and gently sauté the vegetables together with the pressed garlic clove until they take on a light color.

Add the tomato paste and briefly roast it. Deglaze with balsamic vinegar and mix well. Then pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and let the jus simmer gently over low heat for about 2 hours.

After about 1 hour, add the rosemary sprigs and the bay leaf so the aromas can fully develop.

Remove the herbs and strain the jus through a fine sieve. If needed, mix the rice flour with a little water until smooth and stir it into the liquid, whisking until the jus slightly thickens.

Season with tamari, salt and freshly ground pepper. The nutritious vegetable jus is now ready to enhance your favorite dishes.

Enjoy this robust, aromatic base as a nourishing foundation for creative, health-conscious dishes.

Bon appétit!
