Preparation
To freeze leafy vegetables
First, we wash the leafy vegetables with plenty of water and cut the stems.
We put them in a saucepan without draining (it is important not to drain) and we put them over low heat until they steam, once they are shiny we take them out and drain them completely until they eliminate the water
We cut the vegetables into pieces to taste and make balls with the vegetables that we wrap in plastic wrap or put them in hermetic plastic bags and we can put them in our freezer
To freeze potatoes
the first thing we wash the potatoes well and peel them
we cut the potatoes to our liking (we make them elongated like the usual french fries)
We put water and a splash of vinegar in a large saucepan and put it to heat
when they are boiling we put the potatoes and boil them 2 minutes (no more)
We take out the potatoes and let them cool on a board and then in the refrigerator
once cold we can put them in our airtight plastic bag and put them in the freezer
To freeze green beans

then cut into pieces to taste
We put a casserole with water and bring to a boil
When it is boiling we cook the green beans for 3 minutes (no more ..)
drain and let cool a little, then put in hermetic plastic bags and freezer
To freeze hummingbird, cauliflower or similar
wash the hummingbird or cauliflower and cut into pieces (the flowers they have)
we put the casserole with water (without salt we remember) and boil a couple of minutes
let cool and put in hermetic bags and freeze
To freeze onions
It is important to know that the onion can be frozen but then use it in a recipe where it is cooked, not to eat raw, because it loses textures and remains soft, so it will only be valid for soups, creams for the oven, etc.
it is not necessary to scald them, so we peel them, cut them and put them in hermetic bags and freeze
