Chef Fernanda Quatrocchi shares valuable tips about broccoli, including the types available and how to prepare it for a perfect meal.
To properly sanitize broccoli, first cut the florets and soak them in a mixture of water and salt for 15 minutes. Then, clean under running water and leave to soak in a solution of water with sodium hypochlorite for another 10 minutes, rinsing well afterwards.
To maintain the vibrant color of broccoli, cook it briefly in water with baking soda for 3 minutes and then heat shock it in ice water.
If you wish to freeze, cook for 3 minutes in boiling water, place in freezer-safe packaging and store for up to 3 months. The information is from Recipes, from Globo.com
