How to freeze for winter storage

Before freezing, the heads of cabbage should be kept for five to six minutes in cool, lightly salted water. This will get rid of any insects that may be inside. Then rinse the cabbage under running water.

Next, pour the heads of cabbage into a pan with salted water and wait for it to boil. After boiling, remove the pan from the heat and let the cabbage sit for a couple of minutes. After time has passed, drain the cabbage in a colander, rinse with ice water, and then dry.

If you have ever made homemade dumplings, then the next step will be familiar to you. Place the heads of cabbage on a baking sheet, tray or dish in an even layer and place in the freezer.

As soon as the cabbage is completely frozen, transfer it from the baking sheet into bags and throw it back into the freezer.

Due to the fact that the vegetable was first boiled until half cooked, it will take you much less time to prepare dishes. We have this kind of semi-finished product for the winter.

How to cook frozen Brussels sprouts

Cooking frozen cabbage is quick and easy. But even in these cases, you can mess up. Please, under no circumstances should you torture the cabbage by fire. How many times have I seen “killed” frozen vegetables that were left on the stove under the pretext “to make sure they were cooked?”

How to pickle Brussels sprouts

You will need:

  • 1 kg cabbage;
  • carrot;
  • 1.5-2 tbsp. l. salt;
  • the same amount of sugar (can be replaced with honey);
  • dill, cumin, bay leaf.

Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater. Prepare the cabbage: sort, wash, tear off the wilted leaves. Cut large heads of cabbage in half, leave small ones as is. Mix with grated carrots. Place the cabbage in a suitable sized container - ideally a wooden one, but a regular glass jar will do - topping it with dill sprigs and bay leaves and sprinkling with caraway seeds to your taste. If you want, you can add, for example, black peppercorns or any other common spice. Boil a liter of water, dissolving salt and sugar in it, and pour brine over the cabbage. If you are using a wooden bowl, cover the vegetables with a linen rag, press down with a wooden circle and leave under pressure for 5 days. If you decide to pickle cabbage in a jar, it will be enough to cover it with a regular plastic lid. The main thing in this recipe is to prevent the cabbage from protruding from under the brine, so try to accurately calculate the amount of liquid in advance.

How many Russian guys volunteered for the Donbass militia? Unknown. And on the other hand, there are also Russian volunteers. Damn it, what difference does it make if young (and not so young) guys - given the current shortage of normal men - kill and maim each other, instead of looking at the sky, hugging women, giving birth to children, creating something good?!

I'm sitting in the buffet of the Russian State Library. Under the canopy of the old walls, “you can’t hear the noise of the city,” you can’t feel the metropolitan heat. I leisurely consume my late lunch, but my idyll is soon destroyed by a conversation at the next table.

Two men are talking: one is a little older than me, that is, a little over forty, the other is about sixty. I see them here all the time. I don’t know whether they write dissertations or engage in self-education. At the moment they are talking about Strelkov. Yes, yes, about that same Strelkov, who heads the militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic and from whom the Internet community supporting the DPR and LPR has recently become almost an icon. The conversation goes in the direction that Strelkov has given up, is tired and is no longer the embodiment of fearlessness, fighting spirit and the continuation of the best traditions of the glorious pre-revolutionary Russian officers as before. I get up and leave, and only the echoes of “Strelkov, Strelkov...” gradually fade away in my ears.

I am sitting in the dining room of a village near Moscow. A piece of paradise! You walk some two hundred meters away from the highway - silence, peace, greenery and water. In the meantime, I'm consuming delicious sorrel soup at dumping prices. True, there is a TV in the dining room. They show refugees from Ukraine (from Ukraine?) with tense faces. The announcer's voice, trying to be concerned, says that it takes up to five working days to review everyone's application. Suddenly the picture changes. I see a pretty, young woman with a child. From the few words she utters, only one word remains.

This word is "SCARY".

I’m going to Moscow on business and, as usual, I’m ungodly late everywhere I can. Near the Tretyakovskaya metro station I see a canvas tent with the inscription “Help to Donbass”.

And under whose patronage is this? — asks a corpulent lady in a couture outfit.

Under patronage, I repeat mechanically (professional deformation; what can I do - too many texts have passed through my editorial hands). But my voice is quiet and cannot be heard. Sighing, the lady puts five hundred into the box: “God help you!” - and leaves.

My capabilities are much more modest. Sighing, I throw twenty rubles into the box. Fundraising is carried out under the auspices of some church, on a nondescript piece of paper - account numbers in small print. I'm late, now, as they say, criminally. But some element of the mental puzzle falls into place. I'm feeling it.

I stand in the silence of a church near Moscow and pray. The heat is an indispensable background to my story, but the church is quiet and cool. To the standard note about health is added the name of the warrior Dmitry from one cozy chat, where I dilute the standard male chatter. Nobody believed that he would go to fight in Donbass, but he left.

“The commanders were running around, not today or tomorrow they will be sent into battle.”

"Warrior Dmitry." Scary.

There is another new name on the same note. Mikhail Moiseev, blog host for the newspaper Zavtra. He has been covering Ukrainian events for a month now - a wit, a joker, a merry fellow and a lover of life in a formal suit, affectionately calling me “zhik” (an abbreviation for “cozy woman”). I'm scared for him too.

And I can’t turn on “Let’s Go to War” by Natalya Medvedeva, whom I adore, because now an icy, terrible abyss shines through from this song.

And I can’t open a newspaper - any newspaper - because it’s Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine...

“Oh, close, close your newspaper eyes.” I never truly understood what Mayakovsky’s lines were. I understand now. It would be better not.

I've only been to Kyiv once.

Summer 2012.

And this was the City of the Sun. Happiness. Sveta. Mira. Love.

No burning tires.

“By the end of the Year of Water, centrifugal processes in the ancient Empire became most significant.” I don't know what the processes are.

There was only one question left in my head.

This is the question: “WHY”?

Yes, political scientists in polished shoes will popularly explain to me why and how.

What is the history, origins, background, undercurrents and motives.

How much does each participant cost on both sides?

What are the forecasts, prospects and options for the development of events.

How will this affect the geopolitical, economic and who knows what else situation in the region.

But I still have the question “WHY”?

When I read about a person who is capable of turning over his own sister for aiding the “wrong” people. I remember that parable about the Mongol khan, who released the entire family of a Russian woman because she chose to leave her brother alive, because both her husband and son would still be there. Yes, you can change your wife, you can have better children, no matter how disgusting and disgusting it may sound. But - sister? The youngest? I can't wrap my head around it. For what? How?

Military psychologists will no less popularly explain to me why and how. How the psyche is deformed under extreme conditions. How the human extreme of personality - both its upper and lower points - becomes visible when the thin gloss of “civilization” peels off. “A la guerre com a la guerre,” - this Gallic tin, consonant with Galicia, will echo throughout “Echoes of Moscow”, through cozy radio and television studios, through the Finnish press paper. I hear everything. I understand. But…

A three-year-old boy near whom a bomb exploded in Slavyansk. Lost from his just awakening mind and repeating endlessly: “They’re bombing, they’re bombing.” Like a bell trampled by a boot. For what?

Nutria rescued from a bombed house. Someone felt sorry for the animal...

“If we start fighting each other, we're done for,” said Remus Lupine in Harry Potter. How many Russian guys volunteered for the Donbass militia? Unknown. And on the other hand, there are also Russian volunteers. Damn it, what difference does it make if young (and not so young) guys - given the current shortage of normal men - kill and maim each other, instead of looking at the sky, hugging women, giving birth to children, creating something good?!

The worst thing is that nothing will change. War is always war. Someone will return forever young in a coffin. Someone will survive, but will scream at night from nightmares. Some will save their comrades, others will betray them. Someone will eat up any election promises like manna from heaven, frantically whispering: “If only there was no war.”

I do not know what else to say.

I'm just a woman who doesn't want to wait for her husband, son, brother - from a war where he shoots another woman's husband, son and brother.

To consume cabbage fresh for as long as possible, the stems with ripened heads of cabbage are cut off at the very root and, after removing the leaves, they are hung in the basement. If you pick vegetables from the stem, they will quickly wither and lose most of their beneficial properties.

If you live in a region where severe frosts come early enough and prevent vegetables from ripening properly, do not rely on fortune. It is better to cut the stems, remove the lower leaves and very young cabbage ovaries, fold them tightly and dig them in damp sand. Water the plants regularly and you will soon be able to harvest a full harvest. We also recommend reading the article about growing kohlrabi cabbage.

Brussels sprouts, pickled for the winter - you'll lick your fingers!

Not everyone has the space for the operations described above. In this case, our only option is to prepare vegetables in any convenient way. For example, they can be pickled. The cabbage is cut into pieces or shredded and placed in jars up to the shoulders. The marinade is prepared without any special tricks - add 0.3 liters of 9% vinegar, 60 grams of sugar, a little less salt and a pinch of ground black pepper per liter of water.

The ingredients are mixed and kept on fire until the marinade boils. Once this has happened, the liquid is poured into jars of vegetables, which then need to be pasteurized for 20–25 minutes. Don't have time to tinker with jars? Then prepare enough space in the freezer - we will freeze the cabbage. Place a pan of salted water on the fire - try to choose a larger container so that there is three times more liquid than cabbage.

When it boils, add vegetables to the pan and cook for about five minutes. Using a colander, remove the cabbage and immediately throw it into cold water. Once it has cooled, let it dry thoroughly. Then place the workpiece on a plastic tray and put it in the freezer. When the vegetables are frozen, place them in bags in convenient portions. The preparation is great for soups.

Then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the cabbage back into the colander, dry it again and place in sterilized jars, adding peeled and chopped garlic cloves. While the cabbage is drying, prepare the marinade by mixing all the spices with water and bringing to a boil.

Brussels sprouts - special recipes for the winter

Be sure to try fermenting cabbages. First, they should be soaked in cool water (no more than an hour), then blanched for three minutes in boiling water. Prepared vegetables are placed in jars more tightly and filled with hot salted water.

The jars should stand in a warm place for several days, and then send them to a cold and dark place. In 2-3 weeks the cabbage will be ready.

Finally, we recommend a special recipe for preparing fresh cabbage. For a dish that is served both as a side dish and on its own, take a kilogram of cabbage, 100 g of peeled nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts), 1 lemon, a couple of cloves of garlic, olive and butter, salt, pepper, ground nutmeg.

First, fry the nuts a little, then chop them up. Clean and crush the cloves. The lemon is peeled and chopped. These components should be mixed with the addition of two tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and nutmeg (to taste). Fry the vegetables in a frying pan in butter and olive oil. When they brown, add the nut mixture and stir thoroughly. The dish can be removed from the heat and served. Bon appetit!
