peer agreement (net): +4boil the sprouts twice Explanation: En este contexto podía ser: boiling the sprouts twice (with a change of water between boilings) is recommended, so then they can be frozen for a year. or they will keep frozen ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-01-13 11:22:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that when cooking vegetables, such as Brussel sprouts, cabbages, etc, with a strong flavour that you do not want to have or you think that might spoil the rest of ingredients, the solution is to boil the vegetables, change the water with part of the flavour and then finish boiling with new water. Obviously, the water has to be changed before the vegetables are ready, so then they are not overcooked with the second boiling. This is, for example, what some cooks do with cabbage in the Spanish "Cocido" if they don't want the cabbage to be the most prominent flavour. See link: http://www.guiarte.com/la_cepeda/recetas/lacon-con-berzas-ga... What I understand in Spanish by "cocción a dos aguas" is boiling twice changing the water in order to eliminate bitterness, strong flavour, etc with the first boiling. These are some more links about boiling vegetables twice. Un saludo. http://www.riverford.co.uk/produce/category_detail.php?Produ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddlehead_fern |
