Hi, can you please clarify something for me, I have tried few recipes lately that are made with stock, they all turned out a complete disaster and I think its been the quantity of stock, I only have cubes at home and never sure how many to put in, so when you say 225 ml of stock, can I make that using cubes? If so how many do I use, cos the recipe sounds really good
 
I would use 2 chicken or vegetable oxo cubes, I actually used Chicken Bovril in mine, about a tablespoon...I hope this will help you.
 
I use Knorr Touch of Taste (hey - if it's good enough for Nigella . . . !) - you need 1 1/2 tablespoons per 500ml water.

Or sometimes I use Knorr Stockpots - one of those per 500 ml.

I don't use cubes because I don't like the taste, but if you look at the small print on the box it will probably tell you how much to use.

You don't want to overdo it and swamp the taste of the vegetables.
