Crops still to enjoy

Quote from: New shoot on November 16, 2014, 11:15

from the dehydrator - mint, french beans, strawberries, raspberries, apples, chillies, peppers, anchocha and tomato skin powder.

How do you do the french beans and achocha New shoot? I'd definitely be interested in drying those next year as they just keep on cropping....!

French beans - I use the ones that have got a bit big.  I chop them into pieces, blanch for a minute or so and then drain and cool before putting in the dehydrator.

Anchocha - again I use the older larger ones where you take the seeds out and just keep the outside skin.

Both are great in winter stews, casseroles and soups, but I don't think they would stand up cooked alone as rehydrated veg
