Please follow this simple step before preparing any cauliflower and broccoli based recipe the amount of pesticides sprayed on these vegetables is really harmful for our health. The simple cleaning process will ensure to eliminate pesticides or any insects.
For this demo I used 1/2 cauliflower which is 250 grams, 2 tbsp vinegar and coarse salt 1 tbsp. If you dont use coarse salt at home then use regular table salt. I've already chopped the cauliflower florets for the demo.
If your purchasing frozen ready to use cauliflower read the instructions if its parboiled in that case you need to just rinse the veg in warm water once.
Method - How to clean broccoli and cauliflower:
- Boil about 3 to 4 cups water in a heavy bottom pan.
- Add salt and vinegar to the boiling water
- Add the florets to the boiling water.
- Remember your not cooking the vegetable we are rinsing the veg keep stirring the veg in the hot water for 2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes scoop the vegetable out from the hot water and add to cold water this will stop the cooking process. Make sure you inspect the cauliflower if there is any worms inside rinse the veg twice or thrice thoroughly drain and its ready to use.
