How do you freeze fresh veg??

[munz]

do you have to do anything special or just bung it in the freezer?

thanks.

Just bung it in the freezer

so it doesn't need to be blanched or anything? was gonna chop it ready etc.

i normall blanch mine first, dont think it freezes as well when its raw.

Wash and chop as necessary then throw it in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain it under cold water and freeze immediately. You can then just treat it as frozen veg.

and how do you blanch? (sorry to sound thick )

thanks all

What I just said is blanching munz.

Depends what veg you want to freeze. Some veg doesn't freeze very well, e.g. courgettes, and you are better off making it into soup first, then freezing. The stuff that freezes best is peas and broad beans, but not in season at the moment.

Do peppers freeze well when blanched?
