Fresh Veg all Year Round - Saturday 1st August 2015

In winter, don't pack your lettuce crispers away. Instead use them to store your broccoli and cauliflower. When you get home from the store, cut off the stalk, but don't throw it away. Put a cm or two of cold water in the bottom of the crisper, cut a slit in the stalk of the veg and stick the little stand into the slit (if it doesn't have a stand don't worry), then pop the veg straight into the crisper, stalk side down. The veg absorbs the moisture, keeping them fresher for longer. Don't forget to put the cut off stalk piece into the bottom also, it can be diced up into mixed veg/casseroles. Waste not, want not.
