Waste Not ... Vegetable PeelingsDon't throw away vegetable peelings like onion skins, carrot tops and skins, chard stalks, leek tops etc. Put them in a pan of cold water with a bayleaf and some peppercorns, bring to the boil and simmer for about an hour to make stock. Add chilli or herbs to taste. Use straight away or cool and fill into ice cube trays. Freeze solid, then unmold and store in plastic bags in the freezer, use when needed. EatingHorseradish can be used fresh or dried in recipes. BeetsWhen buying beets choose small, firm, smooth beets with thin roots. Make sure you cut the green tops immediately since they drain nutrients from the roots. Leave a 2-1/2 centimeter stem. Steam or boil unpeeled beets, then peel and slice or dice. jobs by

Prevent RotWhen storing your potatoes in a cool place there is always the chance of bacteria and rot forming. Do Not FreezeNever freeze a potato. Fresh potatoes will not cook well and are susceptible to injury when they have been frozen. Ideal Storage ConditionsPotatoes will keep longest when stored in a cool, dry, dark area with good ventilation. DetergentWash all fruits and vegetables before using with cool PotatoesScrub your potatoes with warm water. Do not use soap. Without breaking the skin. Potato BudsTo prevent your potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. ScrubCarrots, potatoes and other root crops should be scrubbed especially if the vegetable is going to be served with its peel. Waste Not ... Leftover VegetablesIf you count a waffle iron among your kitchen utensils, you can quickly turn leftover vegetables into a tasty snack or side dish. Make a savory waffle batter from milk, egg and flower and add the mashed vegetables of your choice. Season and bake according to the instructions of your waffle iron. Storaging HorseradishStore trimmed, washed roots in plastic bags in the refrigerator or root cellar. The best temperature is around the freezing point - 30-32*F. Preserving HorseradishDig up a piece of the root, wash, and scrape it under water to prevent eye irritation. To preserve it, place it in a screw top jar filled with vinegar or oil. Waste Not ... Beetroot LeavesIf you buy your vegetables at a farmers market, you will often find beetroot sold with the leaves still attached. They are a good indicator of the freshness of the beetroot - only buy if the leaves are dark green. But when you get your purchase home, don't throw the leaves and stalks away. Washed and chopped, they can be used just like spinach, make an excellent pasta sauce and are a good source of iron and folic acid. |
