🧑🍳 Cooking Tips: The Art of Reducing Bitterness
To ensure the result is tender and pleasant to the palate:
- Cleaning: Wash the bunch well to remove any dirt residues if present.
- Blanching: This is essential to reduce bitterness, especially in the grelos. Place the vegetable in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes. Drain and discard that water.
- Final Cooking: Cook in plenty of fresh water or add them to broth or stew until tender (the time will vary depending on whether they are nabizas or grelos). If you want to maximize their vitamins, steam them or use them in soups with their own cooking water.
