A Guide To Blanching Vegetables

Blanching_Vegetables

Blanching, or quick boiling, is another way to prepare vegetables quickly and “cleanly.” Blanching helps to break down the fiber of raw vegetables more so than steaming, which may aid digestion. Blanching vegetables also removes the raw flavor and brightens up their color.


To blanch vegetables, simply follow these steps:
1. Bring water to a boil
2. Add a pinch of salt
3. Wash and chop the vegetables
4. Drop the vegetables into the water and lower the heat
5. Cook until they become bright
6. Rinse with cool water to prevent further cooking

For softer vegetables, let them cook longer. Remember, for steaming and blanching, the size and density of the vegetable will determine the cooking time. Harder vegetables like roots take the longest. Green leafy vegetables, such as collards and bok choy, take less time.

Any vegetables may be steamed or blanched. These two cooking methods are especially good when you want to “get to know” a new vegetable. Experiment with different combinations of vegetables. Pay attention to colors, textures, and flavors!

Escaldar o hervir rápidamente, es otra forma de preparar verduras rápidamente. El escaldado ayuda a descomponer la fibra de las verduras crudas más que al vapor, lo que puede ayudar a la digestión. Escaldar las verduras también elimina el sabor crudo y aclara su color.

Para escaldar las verduras, simplemente siga estos pasos:
1. Lleve el agua a hervir.
2. Agregue una pizca de sal
3. Lavar y picar las verduras.
4. Coloque las verduras en el agua y baje el fuego.
5. Cocine hasta que se vuelvan brillantes
6. Enjuague con agua fría.

Para vegetales más suaves, déjelos cocinar por más tiempo. Recuerde, para cocinar al vapor y escaldar, el tamaño y la densidad de la verdura determinarán el tiempo. Las verduras más duras como las raíces tardan más. Las verduras de hoja verde, como la col y el bok choy, toman menos tiempo.

Cualquier verdura puede ser al vapor o blanqueada. Estos dos métodos de cocción son especialmente buenos cuando se quiere “conocer” un nuevo vegetal. Experimenta con diferentes combinaciones de verduras. ¡Presta atención a los colores, texturas y sabores
