| 07 May 2012 ,12:33 3 foods to freeze | |
I only have a small freezer and yet it's one of the most useful spaces in my
kitchen. As well as leftover portions of meals and soups I've saved for another day, my
freezer is packed full of bits and pieces. Food and ingredients I've stored to extend
their shelf life and make cooking and healthy eating easier. ![]() 1. Tomato passata & multigrain wrapsOne of my favourite 'can't be bothered' meals is home made
pizza. For these I use multigrain wraps and tomato
passata as the pizza "sauce". Therefore I keep a packet of wraps in the
freezer and have small individual portions of passata in there as well. It only takes
minutes for these to defrost. 2. Frozen vegetablesI always have a few packets of frozen vegies,
including peas, in my freezer. keep these for the nights when I’m tired and
don’t want to chop anything, or when there’s no fresh vegies in the
fridge. 3. HummusI often use hummus
as a spread, either on toast for breakfast or in sandwiches. However whenever I buy or
make hummus I never get through the whole batch before it goes off. So now I freeze the
leftovers, again in small individual serves. An important tip, is to label your foods before putting them in the freezer. I sometimes "think" I'll remember what's in a tub, but I never do. I then end up with a mess of foods in my freezer, like the picture above. So keep a waterproof pen by the freezer and write on everything which goes inside. What do you keep in the freezer? |
