A trip to the kitchen to prepare a veal blanquette or a shepherd's pie and there you are with a mountain of peelings carrots and potatoes. At best they end up in the compost, at worst, directly in the trash... Too bad when you know that this waste can be used in delicious recipes .
Preparing meals for the whole family, noon and night leads to the accumulation of an impressive amount of peels , especially if you are a big consumer of vegetables !
Most recipes indicate for example to cut the green leaves of leeks when they are perfectly edible , well cooked, or in a soup! We pay for the whole vegetable so why throw away half?
So as not to waste anything and because nothing is wasted, everything is transformed, incorporate these leftover vegetables into your diet. Leaf radishes, turnips, apple peels or peel of oranges, to be able to use them, obviously favor organic.
Not only are these fruit and vegetable tops and peels edible , but they're also delicious and loaded with nutrients and fibers great for the body. Note that potato skin provides more potassium, vitamin B and iron than its flesh!
You knew the classic potato peel crisps but dishes made with leftover vegetables go much further.
Pesto, gourmet donuts, soups and even drinks, think about your leftover fruits and vegetables for your future original dishes!
