Blanching vegetables is a fancy way of saying “flash boil”. You do this to preserve the texture, color and flavor of many vegetables all while retaining their natural vitamins. I love doing this to my veggies for cold side dishes or to add to pastas and other main courses. You also do this to kill bacteria if you decide to freeze any fruit or vegetable because you may have too much to cook before they spoil. It’s very simple, can save you lots of money in the long run and helps reduce food waste, Mother Nature thanks you.

Skillet Cauliflower
Cauliflower recipe! Yes! Did you ever feel there was something missing in your life? Have you considered cauliflower? More things you need in the Chef Buck playlist: Skillet Cauliflower Recipe ingredients: 1 head CAULIFLOWER (cut into florets) 1 bulb of GARLIC (finely chopped) 1 cup ONION (chopped) ½ cup PEPPERS (sliced) 3 Tbsp OLIVE OIL zest of 1 LEMON 2 Tbsp LEMON JUICE SALT and PEPPER (to taste) WATER (as needed) directions: In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium high heat and add cauliflower florets. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the cauliflower hits the pan. Sear the florets for 3-4 minutes â”keep them moving enough not to burn, but let them rest long enough to get a nice seared edge where possible. The florets will soak up the oil pretty quickâ”add water sparingly when needed. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Mix and give the onion a minute head start before adding the garlic and peppers. Add salt to taste and continue sautéing
Spicy Pita Chips
Pita Chips! More recipe videos on the Chef Buck playlist Spicy Pita Chips ingredients: 1 pkg. PITA BREAD OLIVE OIL SALT SPICES: curry powder, garlic powder, cajun seasonings, etc. (whatever you like) directions: Cut pitas into triangular chip shapes. Each pita will easily yield 12 chips. Soak one side of each pita triangle in olive oil and stack pitas so the soaked side of one is stacked against the unsoaked side of the next. Press stacked chips togetherâ”this will flatten the chips and suffuse the oil throughout. Arrange chips on a flat baking sheet. Salt to taste. Add spicesâ”the more the better, in my opinion. I usually bake three distinct batches. Curry is probably my favoriteâ”just salt and lots of curry on a toasted pita chip, it’s delicious. Garlic is great, too. Try some Tony Chachere’s seasoning (or comparable cajun seasoning) on a chipâ”or simply add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper with Cumin. Whatever your favorite seasonings are, give them a try. Bake the
