The last notes
How often does it happen that when we come to a dacha or a garden, instead of small and thin fresh cucumbers, we find huge overgrown cucumbers. Such finds upset almost everyone, because such overgrown cucumbers are not very tasty fresh.
Can you freeze lettuce leaves? Why not"? Lettuce leaves can be frozen in the same way as sorrel and other greens. The only difference is that lettuce is more delicate, and must be handled very carefully.
There are recipes for freezing blanched lettuce leaves, but you should not do this. After all, a salad is a salad, to eat it fresh, without heat treatment. Is it only if this salad is intended for making pie fillings or stuffing.
It is also advised to freeze it in ice cubes, but at the same time they insist that you must definitely dry the leaves if you are going to freeze them whole. Therefore, you need to listen to everyone, and do your own thing.
Only fresh, not crushed or withered leaves are suitable for freezing. Go through them, tear off the spine. Just tear off, not cut with a knife. You do not need iron oxides during winter storage.
Rinse the leaves under running cold water, shake off the droplets, and immediately place in a container or on cling film. Do not wait for the water to dry completely, in this case it will not hurt. Wrap the leaves tightly in cling film.
The main enemy of food is not water, but oxygen, so try to get rid of it as much as possible.
You can immediately prepare salad preparations. To do this, tear lettuce leaves with your hands, put them in glass jars or a container, tightly close the lid, and then immediately send them to the freezer.
Of course, after defrosting, lettuce will not be as beautiful and crispy, but the salad will retain the taste and vitamins that we need so much in winter.
