Jerusalem artichokes - freezing makes the tubers last longer
For a long time forgotten Jerusalem artichoke is on the rise again. The yellow flowers delight the eye and the harvest is abundant. The thin-shelled tubers, however, dry out quickly. Freezing is a way to enjoy the so-called Erdartischocke longer.
Quickly process fresh tubers
Harvested or purchased tubers wither quickly in the air. The unique aroma is lost more and more. If you can not eat all tubers in a timely manner, you should quickly decide for the freezer.
Easy freezing in two ways
Jerusalem artichokes are relatively easy to freeze. There are two viable options for this:
Although the Jerusalem artichokes are prepared differently for freezing, this does not seem to have any impact on the later quality.
Raw Jerusalem artichokes freeze
If you have a lot of tubers in front of you, you may decide to freeze in raw condition due to time constraints. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to do.
- Free all tubers from still adhering soil. It works best under running water with a special vegetable brush. Peel the thin shell of Jerusalem artichoke. For the branched tubers is best a sharp and sharp knife. Divide the tubers into smaller pieces, as you would for later reuse. Fill freezer bags or other suitable containers. It makes sense to divide the vegetables into appropriate portion sizes beforehand. Only place the freezer containers in the chest after you have sufficiently marked them.
Topinambur blanched freeze
Whether you freeze topinambur raw or blanched, the first steps are always the same: washing, peeling and chopping. Only then does blanching occur before freezing. The following should be noted:
Tips
You can go one step further and make ready-made dishes from the tasty tubers. These too can be wonderfully frozen in stock.
Shelf life of deep-fried Jerusalem artichoke
Jerusalem artichokes are stable in the freezer for one year. The shelf life also applies to already prepared food with this vegetable.
