Broth

Apart from forming the base for curries, soups and stews try using some in the following ways

• Any grain tastes better when cooked in broth.  Replace water when cooking couscous,  pilaffs and risottos
• To cut down calories use broth instead of oil in a stir fry
• Add it to mashed potatoes in place of butter
• For a tasty no fuss Thai-inspired noodle sauce mix together 1 cup broth, 3 tablespoons each of fish sauce, ketchup and lemon juice. Then stir in 1 dessertspoon each, crushed garlic, grated ginger and tobasco (less if you like it mild).
