Chips, toppings, pancakes and broth – this is not a complete list of dishes that can be prepared from vegetable peels. Day.Az with reference to Gastronomist.
For economical and responsible cooks in the kitchen there is nothing superfluous. Even vegetable peelings can be used wisely.
In general, not all vegetables need to be peeled before cooking. Some vegetables, especially young ones, are enough to scrape with a knife to remove the top layer – this saves both time and effort, and the vegetables themselves. It is believed that cleaning is not necessary:
- beets,
- carrot,
- young and baby potatoes,
- Jerusalem artichoke
- turnip,
- celery root,
- swede,
- parsnip.
Vegetable peelings, however, can also be used for good. Here are 4 ideas on how to deal with them.
1. Make vegetable chips
Skins from potatoes and other vegetables are very easy to turn into a light snack or addition to soups, pastas and stews. To do this, freshly cut skins just need:
- dry on a baking sheet for 10 minutes,
- add salt and vegetable oil,
- bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 10-20 minutes, or in a deep fryer for 5-8 minutes,
- add a pinch of salt and spices for taste.
2. Turn the skins into crumbs
If your dishes don’t suit chip-style decorations, you can make crumbs out of vegetable peels. To do this, cut the skins and grind them with a blender along with nuts and spices. The resulting mixture can be sprinkled on casseroles or baked fish instead of breadcrumbs or breadcrumbs.
3. Prepare the vegetable broth
Instead of throwing away tails, skins, and vegetable peels, bag them up and store them in the freezer. When there are enough pieces, cook the broth from them. Vegetable broth can be used as a base for sauces and soups, as well as side dishes, meats and stews.
4. Bake vegetable pancakes
Recipes for vegetable pancakes are easy to find in the cuisines of the world. For example, the Indian snack pakora is made from dough and vegetable peels.
Beat flour and eggs, add spices and salt, pour finely chopped vegetable peelings into the resulting dough and fry small pancakes in vegetable oil on both sides in a pan. Serve with sour cream or unsweetened yogurt.
