And it's not even worth talking about the great taste and benefits of this vegetable, because it contains many times more useful elements than its relative. Having received a good harvest, I want to keep it as long as possible. Therefore, cauliflower is usually frozen, dried, fermented, salted and pickled for the winter. But how to properly procure it, our useful tips will tell you.
Before you start harvesting, you need to choose the right main product - cauliflower. To do this, it is necessary to choose only selected inflorescences that do not have unnecessary inclusions, without pests and their traces. In addition, the vegetable should be ripe with uniform white or creamy buds.
Important! If this member of the cabbage family has a yellow tint, then most likely it is overripe.
Before conservation, the heads are cut into small pieces or simply broken by hand.
Did you know? Cauliflower contains a substance called allicin. It helps to lower cholesterol, prevents stroke and supports the cardiovascular system.
As a rule, white cabbage is not frozen for the winter, but cauliflower perfectly tolerates freezing and does not lose either its beneficial qualities or excellent taste.
You can freeze this vegetable both raw and thermally processed. In order to freeze fresh inflorescences, they are briefly placed in salted water so that the flies and caterpillars that could settle in the head surface.
After a while, the inflorescences are washed in running water, disassembled into pieces and laid out on a terry towel to dry out. After that, the cats are placed in a bag or a special container and placed in the freezer.
Before freezing, you can blanch the inflorescences in acidified water (for three liters of water - 15 g of citric acid hydrate).
This water is boiled, pieces of vegetable are lowered there for 3-5 minutes and discarded in a colander. After the liquid drains, the inflorescences are laid out in bags and placed in the freezer.This type of Romanesco family is ideally combined and stored together with other vegetables (broccoli,).
You can also use such a method of preserving cauliflower inflorescences for the winter, as pickling. Moreover, the prepared vegetables in this way resemble pickled ones in taste. Recipe number 1. For preparation you will need:
The garlic is cut in half and placed in a jar. Hot pepper is also placed there.
Important! All vegetables are well washed and dried before conservation.
The inflorescences are cut from the fork, the bell pepper is cut into half rings and these ingredients are put in alternating layers.
All this is poured with boiling water and left for 10 minutes to warm up the cats. Then the water is poured into a saucepan, boiled and poured back into jars. Again, leave for 10 minutes and pour into a saucepan.
Add 2 teaspoons of vinegar to the ingredients left without water and begin to prepare the marinade. To do this, take a tablespoon (without a slide) of salt and sugar per liter of water and add them to a saucepan with drained water, bring it to a boil.
Important! The fabric should be fairly dense so that the preservation will cool slowly. This will reduce the risk that the bank will "explode" during storage.
After the salt and sugar dissolve, pour vegetables with this marinade and close the lid tightly.
Banks are set aside and covered with a dense cloth.
Recipe number 2. Pink preservation.
In fact, this recipe is very simple, and the vegetable gets its glamorous shade thanks to the beets. For conservation you will need:
Sugar, spices, salt are added to the water and put on fire to dissolve the salt and sugar. At the end, add vinegar.
Pour vegetables with the resulting brine, cover with a lid, sterilize for 15-20 minutes and roll up. After that, the cans are turned over, wrapped in a cloth and left to cool completely.You need to store the workpiece in a cool dark place (preferably in the basement). Moreover, if the jar swells, you can put it in the refrigerator or open it, drain the marinade, boil it over and roll the blank again.
Salted cabbage is the best preservation for winter. And there are many recipes for eating crispy vegetables in the middle of a cold winter. We will describe only the most popular ones.
Salt is added to a saucepan with water and vinegar and kept on fire until dissolved. After that, remove from heat and cool. Jars are poured with this brine and put on sterilization. After 2 days, repeat the sterilization. Store in a cool, dark place.
Banks are covered with parchment paper, the necks are tied up and sent to a cool room.
An excellent option for a table in winter is sauerkraut. Moreover, the colored one is in no way inferior in taste to the white one.
Important! If you pour it with cold brine, then the fermentation period will be 7-10 days.
After that, the jars are cleaned in a dark place for several days (usually 3-4 days are enough).
After the vegetables are fermented, the jars are covered with a nylon lid and put into the refrigerator or.
Brine is prepared from salt, vinegar and water and cooled.
The inflorescences are poured with this brine, and the jars are left at room temperature for two weeks for sourdough. After that, they are removed to a cold place.
