I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Wash all the veg and cut into chunky cuts, similar to if you are making stock.
Add the hard veg to the bowl (parsnip, sweet potato, carrots) and chop 3 seconds/speed 5. Scrape the bowl and repeat for one second if necessary. Tip into a larger bowl.
Add the zucchini, brocolli, cauliflour, beans and baby spinach and the green part of the silverbeet (not stalks) and chop, 3 seconds speed 4. Scrape down the bowl and repeat for one second if necessaary. Add to the larger bowl.
***The silverbeet stalks can be added in the step above, however I prefer to cut it with a knife, same if you are adding celery. The stringy stalks and high water content can make them go a bit mushy in the Thermomix and you lose some of the lovely colour.
Cut the corn off the cobb with a knife and add to the mix with frozen (or fresh) peas.
Mix the veg together and spoon mix into snack sized freezer bags (about 3/4 - 1 cup quantities).
Freeze or add to your recipes straight away.
Tip
Veggie Boost is a great way to smuggle veg into your pasta dishes, sausage rolls, chicken nuggets, soups & rissotos, quiche, or any one pot meal that you are making. Add it to plain cooked rice to make it look really pretty!
Use whatever veg you please and add whatever is looking a bit sad at the back of the fridge.
Add your Veggie Boost to your dishes in the last couple of minutes of cooking. The veg is finely chopped, so it will not take long to cook and you dont want to cook all of the nutrients out of the veg or to turn your meals to mush.
There is no need to add water to freeze the veg, there is enough water from washing them and water is released when you cut them so they will freeze crisp.
Feel free to share, save, clone, and comment. Let us all know what you've boosted!

Great idea! I used up veggies in the fridge - gai larn, beans, carrot, corn, spinach and sweet potato. Froze in portions and kept a portion out and I used this portion in okonomiyaki - kinda Japanese pancakes. Absolutely beautiful And healthy to boot! I shall use the remaining portions in more okonomiyaki and hide in casseroles or maybe even beef curries!
