Vegetable skins are often used in cooking, such as making chips or garnishing. Waste-free cooking is environmentally friendly and interesting.
What kind of waste can be used
Spoiled leftovers are not suitable for cooking: sluggish or rotten.
Withered greens and cleanings can be sent to the compost heap to fertilize garden and houseplants.
If the stems, leaves, tops of plants are fresh, they can be used for cooking.
Bouillon
Use the skins of carrots, potatoes, mushroom stalks, fish and meat leftovers to make a rich broth.
When exposed to boiling water, the products will give off their taste and aroma.
After cooking, strain the broth through a fine sieve.
Sauce
You can add leftover greens like spinach, cilantro, and basil to green pesto.
Combine leftover greens with garlic, pecorino cheese and olive oil, and then blend it all in a blender or mixer.
The remains of onions, carrots can be used to prepare sauce for meat or fish.
Soup
Add any leftover vegetables, herbs, and other foods that taste good to your soup.
Instead of throwing away small leftovers, use them in soups.
Dishes with a uniform texture
Another good way to use peels is to toss them into smoothies, scrambled eggs, or baked goods.
In addition, many vegetable peels, such as carrots and potatoes, can be made into crispy deep-fried chips.
