Cooking your vegetable peelings instead of throwing them away means nothing is wasted and save as much as possible. Read my tip for eating less instead!
Because there are no small savings, I always try to get the most out of what I buy. And vegetable peelings do not go by the wayside …
Wait until you have read my tips before closing the page! I assure you that there is nothing appalling in my idea.
The basic principle for implementing these tricks is to wash well his vegetables. All pesticides and other chemicals lodge in the skin vegetables. So take the time to wash them.
In soup, salad or mashed potatoes, most of what you normally throw away is perfectly usable… A few examples? The salad leaves a little withered, the radish tops , carrot or potato peelings.
Slightly damaged zucchini, which were going to go in the trash, will make a perfect soup if you add an onion, a clove of garlic and some herbs.
Ditto for apple or pear peelings, or slightly damaged fruit, which will end up in sauce or in jam .
A very simple recipe idea that I like to make and which generally amazes my guests:mix the tops with a tablespoon of olive oil , salt, pepper, and spread this mixture on stale bread that you have grilled. Cover with radish slices, season with a drizzle of vinaigrette. Delicious!
