Veggie Zone - Preperation Tips
Cutting fruits and vegetables:
When foods have a tough or waxy exterior, chop with the waxy side down, as the more tender inside flesh is easier on knife blades.
Add Flavor to Vegetables:
Cook frozen vegetables in chicken, vegetable, or beef broth to add flavor. Or try adding a bouillon cube to the water you are cooking them in.
Peeling & Chopping Garlic:
The easiest and quickest way to peel garlic is to crush a clove with the flat side of a large knife. Once it is crushed, the peel can be removed easily. Since the clove it flattened, it also makes it very easy to dice the garlic.
Vegetables Too Sweet?
If a main dish or vegetable is too sweet, add a teaspoon of cider vinegar.
