I at all times maintain frozen greens readily available to make fast, wholesome, and straightforward aspect dishes. In truth, I can take pleasure in a bowl of  low fats wholesome veggies inside 7 minutes from begin to end. 

So, no extra excuses for not cooking veggies! 

Frozen greens are an effective way to be sure to eat greens day by day. 

I additionally freeze contemporary ginger to grate within the skillet of greens. 

Ginger, Natural Remedies, Spice
Hold contemporary garlic frozen within the freezer ( do not peel it). To make use of it, merely grate it with the peel.

Freshly grated ginger tastes nice with sautéed broccoli. 

I at all times maintain contemporary natural ginger within the freezer in baggies. It stays contemporary for about 6 months. 

I wash and dry it entire (simply the best way it comes) earlier than freezing it. 

Then I merely grate it frozen into the pan as wanted and return the unused ginger to the dishevelled and again to the freezer.  The flavour is wonderful. 

This easy, wholesome, straightforward aspect dish was sooooo scrumptious that I felt I wanted to share it. 

Right now I cooked up a bag of natural broccoli and a few natural inexperienced beans (purchased at an affordable value at Costco).

I poured within the bag of broccoli into the skillet after which added about a big handful of frozen inexperienced beans, 1/2 cup of water and grated freshly ginger on prime, salt and garlic powder. Prepare dinner uncovered on a medium flame for about 5 minutes! (including 1/4 cup of water whereas cooking if water evaporates)

Why I maintain frozen greens within the freezer?

  • Contemporary greens akin to broccoli are shipped for a number of days after which sit within the grocery store usually for a number of days or extra. By the point we eat it, the dietary worth might have deteriorated. 
  • My time schedule and way of life is unpredictable. I usually purchase contemporary greens with nice intentions, solely to seek out out that we ate out or I simply did not prepare dinner them and so they went dangerous!
  • If I purchase frozen, they’ll keep within the freezer for months. 
  • I needn’t clear them and chop them, subsequently I’m extra prone to truly make them.
