Fruit & Vegetable Preparation & Cutting

September 29, 2023

Fruit and vegetables are nutritious, full of vitamins, and are very flavorful. Even if you are not interested in gaining the health benefits or appreciate the initial taste, fruit and vegetables are often very important for creating a final flavor in many meals (creating important flavor elements). The following are ways to wash, peel, and cut your produce. In this section, I’m not able to cover all fruits and vegetables but have chosen the most common ones.

2. Sauté onion & bacon:

2.1. Meanwhile, preheat a fry pan on high heat with 2 TBSP of frying oil and add:

1 medium onion – finely chopped

Sauté together until onions are glossy (about 3 – 4 minutes).

2.2. Add:

½ LB of bacon – diced

Sauté until you reach the degree you prefer.

2.3.

Then add into the pot with cooked potatoes (including cooking juices from bacon).

3. Final phase:

3.1. Add:

1 clove of garlic – grated
2 TBSP of butter
½ TSP of salt
¼ TSP of ground pepper

Thoroughly fold together with a spatula (that will crash the potatoes which is what we want in order to reach rustic look).

3.2.

Taste and add salt or pepper if needed.

Use measuring cups for plating (the perfect size is ½ or 1 cup). Scoop potatoes with a cup, smooth with a spatula, and then flip onto the plate. If it doesn’t come out of the cup by itself, lightly tap the top of the cup.
