DETOX Tip of the Day: HERBS, FROZEN NOT SMOKED

DETOX Tip of the Day: HERBS, FROZEN NOT SMOKED
We do not know about you, but we are looking forward to springtime. While skiing and snowboarding are fun and attractive activities, the cold reduces us to the elementary sensorial experiences. Simply put: you do not smell a great deal in the cold…
Don't you wish back the warm days where you smell the grass, the fresh leaves growing on the trees or the smells on the market?

Hence our tip: flavour nearly any food with a herbs mix. Preparing it yourself; it is much fun and here we are salivating by simply writing these lines…

1. Simply grab herbs you fancy - the greener the better
2. chop them finely
3. put them into freezer bags
4. whenever you need the herbs grab a handful and add to your dish, salad, pasta, fish…

Go for the green and fresh herbs, for our mix we used:
2 bunch basil (basilic)
2 bunch flat parsley (persil plat)
2 bunch cilantro (coriandre)
1 bunch tarragon (estragon)
1 bunch scallion (ciboulette)

Chop the herbs super fine, mix everything up and put the mix into two freezerbags; it is easier to use.
If you are not sure if it is finally well mixed, chop the herbs by type and split them each them in two plates, Like that you can be certain you have the same quantities in each freezer bag.

Two final tips:
Chopping is so much easier (and the coolness factor increases) using the largest knife you have!
Always use a sharp knife, as you do want to cut and not squeeze the herbs ; remember to resharpen the blade frequently as the herbs make the blade go dull very quickly.
