  • 1 head garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 sprigs thyme

  2. 2.

    Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. If you have more than 6 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water. If using stock right away, skim off and discard fat. If not, chill stock (covered once cool) and discard fat after it solidifies.
