I discovered two great ideas how to preserve
greens using only an ice-tray and olive oil, and I must tell you I'm
really happy about it because is way better than putting them in a bag,
seal it and keep it in the freezer....somehow mine went mushy in a bag in a very short time. So I have here two options:
1. First option is what I did with my greens. I wanted to have in my
freezer Dill, Parsly, Rosemary, Chives and Basil. I took about 2 bunches
of each put it in the food processor added 2 tbsp of Olive Oil,
processed for about 1-2 min. and then put it in a tray with a teaspoon.
With a black marker I wrote the initial letter of the green on each
column. For example in this picture C (chives) and B (basil).
2. The
second option is easier because it doesn't use a food processor so no
processing and cleaning after. Only the leaves are removed from the
stalks, placed in the tray, add Olive Oil to cover them up and there you
have it, ready to go in the freezer.
To be honest I choose the
first one because it uses less oil and because I like to add these at
the end of my cooking or when I make sauces, so chopped greens are for
me a better option and also they worked just fine when I made a roast
dinner. Another reason is that I use the stalks as well on my cooking
because they are as healthy and flavored as the leaves.:)
