Broccoli
During the summer months, I tend to shy away from broccoli. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. However, I find that I’ve eaten broccoli for so long now that I feel my cooking should be reserved for more “interesting” produce. However, that doesn’t mean that once broccoli is out of season, I start craving it. So, I started saving it for later uses (which include some delicious soup and noodle bowls during the winter months!)
Freezing broccoli takes a couple of steps. First you need to cut the broccoli in to florets and soak in a cold salt water bath for 10 minutes. Next, quickly rinse and blanch, following closely with an ice bath. Pat dry and throw into a freezer safe container. Aimee from Simples Bites as a great step by step process of this!
