澳洲“奇葩”蔬菜大扫盲
每次去coles, woolworth时总是有些蔬菜
长得奇奇怪怪
都不知道他们是什么
买了也不知道咋吃
吃也吃不出什么味道
真的很不甘心
今天就给大家介绍几款常见local青菜
为大家打开味觉的新大门
Brussels sprout
孢子甘蓝
它是由野生甘蓝演变而成。与其他甘蓝才一样,孢子甘蓝富含大量的小夜球蛋白质和维生素C,而且是还有特殊的防癌物质。它的小型小巧可爱,直径为2.5-4厘米,很像小型的迷你包菜。
味道
在味道上孢子甘蓝也与包菜有些相似。但在口味上很清爽,但略微偏苦。一般的烹饪方式是水煮,翻炒,或者用烤箱来烤。
烹饪方式
(孢子甘蓝炒培根)
1. Get brussels sprout washed and trimmed, then cut the large ones in half
把孢子甘蓝清洗,切掉根部后,把体积大的切成两半
2. Heat a large frying pan and cook the bacons in batches, laying the slices flat in the pan until brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
加热平底锅分放入培根适量,并分几次放入。平坦煎至酥脆金黄。再把煎好的培根移出盘中,待用。
3. Steam or boil the sprouts for 7-8 mins until just tender, drain and return to the pan with the butter, lemon zest and some seasoning. Turn the sprouts until well coated, then tip into a serving bowl, tear over the crispy bacons and season with freshly ground black pepper.
蒸或者水煮孢子甘蓝大约7-8分钟,直到煮透,倒出滤干放入加热后的平底锅中。再加入适量黄油,用擦菜工具擦点柠檬皮入锅,再加入适量调料。随意翻炒孢子甘蓝片刻后快速出锅装盘。再撒上备用的培根后再撒上一些现磨黑胡椒碎。
Chard
莙荙菜
莙荙菜, Chard, 根据wikipedia,是甜菜的一個變種。常見于地中海料理,和瑞士料理中。莙荙菜种类多样,虽然叶子部分常为绿色,但是叶柄处颜色多变,有绿色,红色,黄色。
莙荙菜的营养价值非常高,而且经过裁培后,菜的营养都聚集到叶片,而不是像甜菜那样聚集在根茎。而且因为容易种植,少虫害,莙荙菜被认为是最绿色的蔬菜。
味道
在味道上莙荙菜和菠菜很相似,但比菠菜多一些一些硬柴的口感,但经过烹煮之后口感会好很多。对于当地人来说,莙荙菜的叶子一般会拿去做沙拉,但比较中式点的做法,则可以翻炒。
烹饪方式
(炒甜菜)
1. Rinse out the chard leaves thoroughly. Either tear or cut away the thick stalks from the leaves.
洗净菜叶,用刀切分开,或者手撕开茎部和叶部。
Cut the stalk pieces into 1-inch pieces. Chop the leaves into inch-wide strips. Keep the stalks and leaves separate.
把茎部切成1英尺的长度。把叶子部分大致切成宽条。
2 Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium high heat. Add garlic slices, crushed red pepper, and coriander seeds (if using), and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant.
把橄榄油加入热锅,加入切好的大蒜片,压碎备好的红辣椒,和香菜籽,翻炒30秒直到大蒜香气散发。
3 Add the chopped chard stalks. Lower the heat to low, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
加入切好莙荙菜茎,调至小火,盖上盖子闷煮3至4分钟。
4 Add the chopped chard leaves, toss with the oil and garlic in the pan. Cover and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes. Turn the leaves and the stalks over in the pan.
等菜茎快软之后,加入切好菜叶。再撒上少许油,大蒜。再盖上盖子煮至3-4分钟后,开盖翻炒,直至熟透。
Artichoke
洋蓟
洋蓟, 又名朝鲜蓟是菊科多年生草本植物。原产于地中海沿岸, 主要食用部分为花苞中肥嫩的苞片, 是一种名贵、高营养价值的保健蔬菜, 在国外被誉为“蔬菜之皇”。
味道
洋蓟的口感是清香甘甜的。吃后舌尖和口腔内会感受到一种介乎鲜笋和土豆间的甘甜清香
新鲜洋蓟最常见做法是煮食,蒸着吃,或者镶填馅料入烤箱,做成Dips酱汁, 或者煲汤,其实最简单的吃法就是煮后蘸料汁食用。
烹饪方式
1. Cut of the tips of the leaves with kitchen scissors
用厨房剪把洋蓟叶叶瓣的尖部剪掉
2. Slice about 3/4 inch to an inch off the tip of the artichoke.
用刀切掉洋蓟头部,大约占整个洋蓟的四分之一。
3. Pull off any smaller leaves towards the base and on the stem.
把根部附近的小叶子去掉
4. Cut off excess stem
把根部去除
5. In a large pot, put a couple inches of water, the garlic, a slice of lemon, and a bay leaf (this adds wonderful flavor to the artichokes). Insert a steaming basket.
在一个大锅中,放入适量水,大蒜,几篇柠檬,一张肉桂叶,再放入蒸盘。
6. Steam the artichokes around 25 to 35 mins or longer, until the outer leaves can easily be pulled off.
放入准备好的洋蓟,蒸至25到35分钟,直到可以将叶子轻松拨开的程度
7. Prepare a dip, either melted butter or mayonnaise. The most classic one is mayo with a little bit of balsamic vinegar mixed in.
准备好蘸料,可以是融化的黄油或者蛋黄酱。最经典的蘸料是由蛋黄酱,加上意大利香醋合成。
洋蓟吃法
1. Pull off the leaves and dip
撤下一片叶子沾着蘸料
2. Place light end in mouth, dip side down, pull, scraping through your teeth
用软的部分蘸料,吃掉叶子上软软的部分(不是全吃掉哦)
Continue until all of the petals are removed.
等所有的叶子全撤掉了之后
3. When you get to the tender inner leaves with the purple tips, you can remove them all at once. Dip and eat just the light colored parts of these leaves.
吃到软软的部分时,把带紫色的部分一起撕下,沾着酱,全吃了。
4. crape out the choke: With a knife or spoon, scrape out and discard the inedible fuzzy part
用到或者勺子,把里面的肉挖着吃
