choppd
One half teaspoon Salt; or to taste
8 cup Cold water; approximately

1. Heat the oil in the cooker and saute the onions and garlic (if using)
over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 56
minutes. For a richer stock of darker colour, saute the onions until dark
brown, about 15 minutes.

2. Tossin the carrots and celery and saute an additional minute.

3. Add the parsnips, bay leaves, thyme or oregano, herbs, chopped
vegetables, and salt, with just enough water to reach the maximum capacity
advised by the manufacturer. Stir carefully to scrape up any browned bits
of onion sticking to the bottom of the pot.

4. Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust
the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. Let the
pressure drop naturally, about 710 minutes, or use a quickrelease method.
Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to
escape.

5. Allow the stock to cool slightly. Strain into a large storage container.
Cover and refrigerate until needed.
