[V-tina]

V-tina, Thank you so much. All ingenious is simple.

tell me the recipe where else you can use it.

The casseroles are different

I have a question about mushrooms again. So if you freeze them raw, then use them for pizza? to throw ice cream directly? or let it thaw a little?
by the way, I made a portioned frying of mushrooms with onions and yesterday I was already preparing pasta with them in cream, sprinkled on top with a green onion from a freezer. Well, pretty simple

with virus and temperature made a delicious dinner very quickly, thanks to you and the freezer

Thank you all for the advice!

what to use for pizza? to throw ice cream directly? or let it thaw a little?

just use it, frozen

I don't like thawed porridge either, tell me the recipe, where else you can use it.

Grind the porridge with a blender and add to the pancake dough, very tasty.

Girls, tell me, did anyone freeze spinach with cucumber? Smoothie portions? I didn't like the frozen cucumber, cut into plastics / cubes. But if with spinach blender and freeze in cubes? And then from the freezer directly into the yogurt?

What's the difference from what smoothies to make, fresh or frozen vegetables? I do it with both, and fresh-frozen combinations.
If you don't like the taste of vegetables, you can add something to your liking - apple, banana, kiwi, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, and other things to taste. The main thing is that the benefits of fruits are.

Check out the smoothie here What shall we drink? Compote, jelly, drinks, juices, smoothies, cocktails ...

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, thank you very much for such useful information))
I have already tried freezing cucumber + spinach cubes for testing. Size 4.5x4.5x4.5cm. They froze overnight, took out one in the morning, poured it with homemade yogurt + salt and a clove of garlic)) I didn't need a blender, just waited a little until it melted and stirred))
Delicious! There is practically no difference with the fresh mixture. That is, spinach with cucumber can and should be frozen. We must also try to throw a cube into the pickle - what happens))

Can arugula be frozen? Has anyone frozen? I really like pasta with arugula, but in our area it is problematic to buy in winter. I would be grateful for ideas.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I haven’t tried .. but it seems to me like in previous posts with spinach if you make cubes ... so it will turn into a rag whole

Can arugula be frozen?

Like I read somewhere that it does not freeze ... But if separately, I did not try it with a cube. I have already frozen various herbal mixtures for smoothies, including with arugula, but I haven't thought of it separately.

And according to Tanya-Romin's method of freezing in oil? Hold for a couple of weeks, and then try.

I washed the arugula and cut the rockets into the freezer. I did it for the first time. I will find out what will happen at the exit later

[Svetlana]

Virgo, thanks for the advice!

Svetlana, will you tell us later?

And according to Tanya-Romin's method of freezing in oil?

I would not do that, too much oil will turn out, and in salads somehow it will not be ice so it seems to me
But, in a bag and in a freezer in its pure form, I would do this. I read on the internet what they do in this way, and then frozen arugula in a pan for scrambled eggs, or together with sorrel-spinach and other greens in green cabbage soup is very suitable.
You can try now to freeze and try

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, went to freeze in a bag. Thank you.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, went to freeze in a bag. Thank you.

Tanyusha, to your health!
Personal impressions from you later in finished form, it is very interesting to hear

I froze arugula. All the scent is gone.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, froze ....

Julia, oops .. Let's see what happens to mine.

We were treated to a huge package of arugula with an amazing nutty flavor ....

[Babushka]

I would not do that, too much oil will turn out, and somehow there will be no ice in salads

So Babushka I wanted to go into the paste, but the oil will go there. Another thing is what comes out of this arugula.

[Babushka]

So Babushka I wanted to go into the paste, but the oil will go there. Another thing is what comes out of this arugula.

There will be too much oil and it will overwhelm the taste of arugula.
But frozen arugula can be stewed with something in a little olive oil and added to the pasta. Or add to the creamy sauce and then also to the pasta.

Here you can choose Frozen sorrel and spinach also lose their taste and aroma, but all vitamins will be preserved. So it is with arugula. And for the taste-aroma, you can add some additional spices-herbs when cooking directly.

Frozen. One of these days I'll try what happens. As a last resort, you have to throw it away. In any case, I couldn't eat it all right now.

Girls, teach me about freezing asparagus beans. I tried to freeze the welded approx. 5 minutes - I didn't like it. She was cooling down while she was cooling down, so ugly changed the color from sunny white-yellow to some kind of brownish, straight fu ... froze, but I won't be like that anymore. What to do - freeze raw or try to quickly chill in cold water with ice? By analogy with vegetable asparagus, spinach, peas and other greens, so that the color does not change.
And if it's raw, then without defrosting it in boiling water for 5 minutes and then in a frying pan in an omelet or what? Teach, otherwise the harvest is good, but how to preserve it - I myself cannot figure it out.

[Ferro]

FerroI freeze lots of asparagus beans regularly. Basically, I ice it raw, cut into small pieces. But, sometimes, it turns out to freeze and slightly boiled. My beans in their original form are green, after boiling they turn brownish-green, but this does not bother me. Both frozen raw and boiled, I dip it into salted boiling water and boil until tender (soft). And then - at will: in an omelet, as a side dish, in a vegetable stew, etc. Rejoice at a good harvest and success!

[Canned food]

Canned food, Yes??? And I thought that you can cook it immediately on a frying pan ... why can you cook it again, is it already ready? Then there is no point in blanching it, it's just a hassle, there isn't enough time for anything in the summer.
And my beans are waxy white-yellow, beautiful! And after boiling-cooling it turned out like coffee with milk was loosened up with water, horror ...
I will try, probably, on a small portion, for another shock cooling with ice, nevertheless, I really want in winter from the freezer from the bag directly to the frying pan, bypassing boiling water.

I looked into the purchased package of beans and asparagus - they are frozen raw, the color is beautiful natural
There is no problem then toss them into the pan (without defrosting) and boil for a few minutes before defrosting and then pour over eggs, for example. If in soup, then also without defrosting at the end of cooking.
Or you can put the frozen one in a double boiler for a few minutes. The main thing is not to digest.

Thanks everyone for the tips! I love the forum, thanks to you, I have only a month as a freezer, and the berries-jam have already been frozen by about a quarter / third ...

thanks to the forum, I got a freezer for 7 boxes and a chest, and this is all for the main refrigerator

[Ferro]

FerroYou can make natural canned asparagus beans using this technology:

Natural canned food (stew or "in its own juice") on the stove without an autoclave, pressure cooker and preservatives (OgneLo)

Girls, tell me, please, about the cucumbers. I realized that you can freeze by cutting into cubes. And put it straight into bags or first freeze it in bulk on a tray and then put it in a bag?

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, Thank you

Today I tried to freeze the whole zucchini. When it was frozen, I pulled it out and put it on the table to go away. After about 20 minutes he began to cut himself with a knife. Immediately cut into circles of 0.5-0.7 cm, rolled in flour and fried in oil. It turned out very well. The taste is absolutely the same as that of freshly fried, only it turned out a little softer.
I decided for myself - it's worth freezing the zucchini! And then in winter they cost exorbitant money.
Now I put a whole cucumber and tomato, cut into cubes, into the freezer, so that I can understand whether I like them after freezing or not and whether it is worth freezing for the winter.

[Natasha]

Natasha, and you do not sell zucchini frozen with washers by weight? We have them in winter, well, they are sooo cheap, about $ 0.8. per kg. I do not ice zucchini, I buy 300-400 grams in a store for a stew or just fry. I have a small freezer, I always feel sorry for the places for the zucchini (even though I have my own summer cottages).

[svetta]

svetta, never saw zucchini washers in the store. But how much I buy frozen in winter, the price is always not humane. Every time I think that in the summer everything was so cheap.
My freezer has just appeared, so I'm experimenting). (In the freezer from the refrigerator there was no time for experiments, the meat was placed and already well).
I will try to freeze all kinds of different things, and then I will decide what I really need.
The freezer also does not hurt large 134 liters of usable volume and already half is filled with berries)

[Natasha]

NatashaWell, we are southern people, we have something fresh in summer, that in winter all good things are frozen in bulk and prices are quite humane even for my pension.
Congratulations on the freezer, I have only 114 liters plus a freezer in the refrigerator. For 5 years of use, I have already worked out the necessary stocks, I don’t freeze too much.

Congratulations on the freezer, I have

Thank you!

well, we are southern people, we have something fresh in summer, that in winter all good things are frozen in bulk and prices are quite humane even for my pension

Oh, how great!

we have that fresh in summer,

We don't have everything in summer either. Today I bought Turkish apricots, froze some of them, and decided to make jam from the rest. I cook, but there is really no taste or smell
Recently I bought our southern ones, it's a completely different matter, I made jam - the aroma stood! And the taste
All upset today

[caprice23]

caprice23, Natasha, the frozen product should not be defrosted immediately. It is necessary to withstand at least a week — then it will be clearer whether this product needs to be frozen for the winter. The most controversial product is raw eggplant. Not everyone likes them. They didn't go to me, but blanched, boiled, baked, fried tongues are very good. I don’t recognize frozen parsley yet. It smells nasty to me, not parsley at all. Everything else is fine. The main thing is to use it correctly.

[Natasha]

We must endure for at least a week

Natasha, yeah, thanks, then I'll practice again)

The most controversial product is raw eggplant.

I definitely don't want to freeze eggplants

I froze the fried eggplants. Warmed up again in a frying pan. I will not say that it is super tasty, but in winter we ate it, ok. And I'll freeze it this year.
And I want to freeze the tomatoes in rings so that I can put them on the pizza right away. And they will take less space.
Although, the girls wrote to fill the tomatoes in bulk in the already filled boxes.

I have a small freezer, I always feel sorry for places for zucchini

Ha! I love fried zucchini (damn it, it tastes like grass, but I can't bring it to the table, I eat it straight from the pan). And somehow I saw in the winter in a store packaging of zucchini frozen with washers, I thought VERY long, the result was a STINOL freezer (I don't remember the displacement, height 167 cm, taller than me). In the first summer - half of the freezer in zucchini.These are the priorities

[LyudmilaN]

LyudmilaN, I can't see your place of residence from the tablet. I already wrote here that with the cheap cost of frozen store zucchini, it makes no sense for me to freeze them, and they are free in my dacha. My husband just adores them, I buy a little of them all winter. For me it is really quite cheap, I'd rather put more valuable vegetables and berries-fruits in the freezer in the summer. And I have nowhere to put a more capacious camera, so I will buy zucchini.

I definitely don't want to freeze eggplants

I froze eggplants for one year and threw out almost everything. Didn't like it at all. How much we love them, but such did not go.

[it was the zucchini that prompted me to the freezer]

Svetta, I’m not about prices (and I don’t remember how much they were, it was 10 years ago), not about the area of ​​the kitchen and not my God somehow pin up you (to me on YOU). I am solely about myself that it was the zucchini that prompted me to the freezer.
And then I didn't have a summer residence, I was stocking up on the market in the summer. A year ago I returned to my small homeland (Irkutsk region) and took the plot, but this year I have not planted anything yet, I have only set up a house, the fence has to be made, the plot has to be cleared (it has not been processed for 10 years) and I will plant zucchini-y-y ...

[marika33]

marika33, and I ice baked eggplants - sooo tasty all winter

[kartinka]

kartinka, I must try to freeze the baked ones. I sterilize them and roll them up. I like it too.

[marika33]

marika33, and I ice baked eggplants - sooo delicious all winter

I also ice cream baked, in the winter wherever - in stew, caviar, fry, ferment ...

[marika33]

marika33, marinochka, you can now make a plastic jar for a test, it will lie down for a couple of days and it will be immediately clear - they are already ready and will go into the jar a lot. I just defrost it in the fridge, and so it’s delicious without anything svetta, and how to ferment?

Svetta, and how to ferment?

As usual, we ferment. This is delicious!
Here is one of the many recipes
