PARMESAN STOCK
  1. Heat olive oil in a large (5.5-quart) Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add Parmigiano Reggiano and let it sit on the bottom of the pot, allowing the cheese to brown and form a fond. Stir every 15 to 20 seconds to prevent burning.

  3. Stir in onion, leek greens, carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Cook until the vegetables are slightly soft and tender, 6 to 7 minutes.

  4. While scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pot, slowly pour ½ cup of water to deglaze. Add the remaining water, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  5. Strain into a container, cool, and refrigerate for up to 1 week or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
