Can I freeze fresh herbs without using water ?
Flash freezing herbs Pick the best freshest herbs you can find Wash and pat herbs dry Lay on layer of wax/parchment paper on cookie sheet Freeze overnight Place leaves in freezer bag(s), using a straw to suck out excess air If you are planning on using your herbs in soups or stews, I would definitely recommend the ice cube method Ice cube tray method (with oil) Pick the best freshest herbs you can find Wash and pat herbs dry Add 1/3 cup of oil for each 2 cubs of herbs to food processor or blender Put chopped pieces into ice cube trays Freeze overnight Place cubes in freezer bag(s), using a straw to suck out excess air. You may also put the trays right into the freezer bag sucking out the air if you wish. Now in a few months you can add some parmesan and have some previously frozen pesto in the middle of winter.
