Green Peas - 1/4 kg
Method:
- Remove the peas from the pod, set aside. Rinse it well once. Boil water in a big pan until bubbles appear vigorously.
- Add the peas and let it all float on the top, it will just take 2mins for that. Immediately switch off and pour cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Let it cool and come to room temperature. Pat dry using a kitchen towel until no moisture is there.Store it in a ziplock bag or a tupperware container and label it with the date.
- Freeze it...After a day or so it will look like this.When required just take the amount of peas you need just thaw it and use it.
How to thaw frozen peas:
Take the frozen peas spread it on a plate and make it come to room temperature which is thawing thenrince i once and you can use it for your required recipe.
The below pic is just freezing after 2 days and the other pics are almost more than a week old.
My Notes:
- Blanching and then freezing them gives more shelf life also helps in easy cooking later.
- Make sure you switch off immediately once all peas has risen to top. Dont let it overcook.If the peas has slight shrinks it is perfectly normal don't worry.
- Also before storing in ziplock/any freezer proof container make sure there is no moisture in the peas else it will easily get spoiled.
- I have tried both ziplock and tupperware container to freeze the peas and both worked well.
- I am really not sure of the shelf life but it will last upto 3-4months for sure.
