Experienced housewives know that the dish will be more aromatic and tastier if you add a little greenery to it. And if you know how to freeze it correctly, you can delight yourself and your loved ones with fragrant summer colors all year round.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, be sure to wash and dry the greens before freezing. Do not dry it for too long, or it will wither. Better to let the water drain well and spread on a terry towel for 2-3 hours.
Step 2
The easiest way is to freeze the herbs in bunches. To do this, take a bunch of clean and dry greens, put in a bag and place in the freezer. In winter, you only need to get a few sprigs of herbs, cut and add to the dish.
Step 3
You can also freeze chopped greens. To do this, chop it finely, put it in the necessary portions in bags, roll it up with a "sausage" and place in the freezer. In winter, you will need to take out the bag, break off or cut off the required amount of greens and add to the dish.
Step 4
There is another option for freezing greens. Simply wash, cut, fold a small pinch into ice cube trays, fill with water and freeze. Then put the ice cubes with herbs in tight bags and place in the freezer for further storage. In winter, you only need to take out 2-3 ice cubes and add to the dish.
Step 5
In addition to freezing, greens can also be dried. The process is very simple. To dry, wash the herbs thoroughly and dry them on a towel. Then chop finely and spread in a thin layer on a tray. The ideal option for drying greens is a well-ventilated room, but if there is none, it can dry out in the kitchen, you just need to turn it over from time to time so that it dries evenly. The approximate drying time is 3-7 days. It depends on the level of humidity in the air. As soon as the greens crumble in your hands, then it is ready.
