I’m going to the bodega today to get a truckload (not really) of onions, bell peppers and chili peppers. They’re so cheap there that I thought I’d buy a passel of them, then chop and freeze them, keeping aside a few for immediate use.
Frozen veggies in the store are flash frozen, though (I assume), which is why they aren’t all clumped and frozen together in a solid mass. My freezer is so inefficient (it takes hours to freeze a tray of ice cubes! I’m afraid that’s what’ll happen with my lovingly chopped veggies.
I’m sure a lot of you do this routinely (another assumption, but not illogical). Is there a technique for freezing chopped vegetables so they don’t clump and freeze into a solid mass? I know there must be a simple answer, but I just woke up, and I’m not even capable of making my coffee yet!
