Ok, so it's currently March 2020, and as we all should know by now, the world is facing a global emergency the likes my generation have never seen before. Our normal way of life has been turned upside down in order to save ourselves. This play list has been created to help you guys with recipes using kitchen cupboard staples, recipes where you can swap out ingredients and also quick 1-2 minute videos like this one to help make your life easier around the kitchen.
In this video I'll show you a quick and easy way to preserve fresh herbs by freezing them. freezing fresh herbs is a great way to keep them for longer, and means you don't lose all that fresh flavour. This will work for any leafy herb like parsley, tarragon, mint, basil, coriander, chives etc etc. The same method can be used to freeze fresh garlic and ginger. Simple grate the garlic garlic and ginger into a paste and follow the same steps. Freezing herbs is a neat little tick right now, especially when certain ingredients are sparse.
All you need to freeze fresh herbs is a few ice cube trays, room in the freezer and a bit of time. Remember folks, stay safe, stay home and look out for each other.

Thank you for the mind-blowing tip!! I've avoided fresh herbs because I hated wasting them. But with this brilliant idea, I can use what I need when I need it. Thank you so much!
That's a very good tip. I buy fresh herbs now and then and generally throw half of them away.
You can use stock instead of water too for like a super herby stock cube. Keep safe
This technique will come very much in handy for when I have to buy more herbs than I need. Tfs sweetie!!!
I have so much mint in the garden. I followed your instructions and now have a bunch of mint leaf ice cubes! It works well.
Loved this video! This is how I store my home made sofrito!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Great idea that Gaile! Hope you are OK. X
Very helpful thanks a lot ❤
PERFECT!! I needed Basil 🌿 today but all the store had was a large bag of it. It was more than what I needed. Was afraid most would go bad. Will get busy freezing them today! Thanks for the tip Adam! 👍 *SHARED*
You're welcome Terri. You stay safe 🙂
I love the ‘pantrydemic’ tag 😂 well done Adam 🥰
Haha thanks Beryl. Take care
So easy after someone shows you how. Thanks and I have subscribed.
You're welcome mate, glad to have you with us. 👍🙂
Perfect, thanks for that.
Thanks for sharing I needed this!! :)
you are most welcome x
Hi Adam. I hope you are keeping well. It's always an automatic 👍 for your videos from me. That's a great tip, thanks very much. I'm always throwing fresh herbs away. Hopefully no more. Take care chap.
Thank you Danny pal. Appreciate it. Look after yourself ok
Beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
I do this . Great vid again . Hope you're well x
You too Linda, take care of yourself x
Good on you mate, I'm using your method for many, many years because I got a nice orchard with lots of citrus, fruit and plenty of herbs, all kind of herbs. These herbs are growing like weed at my place and I chop and freeze them to secure our supply all year long. Some herbs can only be harvested at certain times, others all year long in Perth. But I never, ever use a food processor to chop my herbs. I tried it once and the taste changed to a bitter taste.
Keep up your excellent work bud and stay safe J
Cheers
That's awesome! It must be a dream to have a nice orchard. Stay safe out there mate 🙂
@@Adam_Garratt I's great mate, you don't need to buy any fruit and veggies but you just have to eat what's in season. And you know what you put into your soil. No pesticides, whatever.
Thanks pal J
Cheers
Thank you, Adam, great technique's and much appreciated, :-)
Cheers Joe
Interesting! I always thought you should blanche and shock the herbs before putting them in the cube trays ostensibly to retain the green colour, but if you are going to be cooking with them it doesn't really matter. Thanks for the demo, Adam!
That's also a technique, but I've never found it necessary. I do have a vid coming up today though using that technique, so keep an eye out at 12 🙂
I do the same thing, but use olive oil instead of water.
thanks buddy
You're welcome Joe
yes an old video but a great tip
Genius!!
What a brilliant 'herb hack', Adam. Really appreciate it. Thanks! Keep well, all. Peter A :) :) :)
Cheers pal. Stay safe too!
@@Adam_Garratt Thanks, and wilco. I'm spending too much time in the kitchen and cooking - and therefore eating. Waist line increasing.....
Nice one Adam my nan use to do that with mint,
Good vid hope you are well mate with this madness going on
Cheers David. Hope your well mate
@@Adam_Garratt I'm all right mate thanks,
See you on the spice and eazy chinwag after
Good video, thanks.
Thanks Suzy, stay safe
@@Adam_Garratt You're welcome and stay safe also lad x
I'm just here for the ".. I'll see your gorgeous faces..." comment at the end...:D That there was a really cool tip, Adam. Never thought of that!
Haha, well I have the best looking subs obviously right? 😂. Look. After yourself bud
@@Adam_Garratt Let's just say I have a face that's perfect for... radio. :)
@@Adam_Garratt Flattery will get you *EVERYWHERE!* 😂
My mom used to do that with her pesto. It’s a rather good Idea
Nifty trick isn't it. 🙂
Adam Garratt yes very good.
I like the idea, mate, but, because I have a "frost-free" freezer, I would need to find some way of covering the ice cube trays to stop the water from evaporating before it has a chance to freeze. ☹️
I know that specially-designed covered ice cube trays are available on eBay and Amazon - at quite a price! 🤬
BTW, I don't know if you follow Chef John at Food Wishes, but I seem to remember that way back in the dim, distant past, he published a couple of videos, one for freezing home-made demi-glace, and another for freezing the herbs in oil instead of water. I'll try to find them, and if I have any success, I'll come back here and add the links to this comment. 🙂
Using olive oil is also a great idea. Bit more expensive way, but achieves the same result. Good luck and stay safe
Nice one Adam... Quick and easy and how many times have I gone to the supermarket and they've run out - I'll be smirkin' for sure...! More importantly, how's your grandad coping with the lockdown.. Is he ok..? Thinking of him mate...x
Thank you Chris! Yep he's fine. Stuck at home but he's got the all clear for the virus, ended up with a chest infection bless him
@@Adam_Garratt Excellent news mate... So glad he's clear of the virus, and I hope he gets rid of the chest infection soon... Loads of more your cooking and he'll be right as rain... So good to hear he's ok mate... Take care... :-)
Thanks for that interesting vid.
In the same way you can freeze fresh lemon juice.
Regards from Reinhard Germany
In corona quarantine
Luckily not infected
But a f****ing boring time
Head up!!!!
Great tip Reinhard! And look after yourself pal
Thankyou 💕
You're welcome Mandy love. Stay safe! X
Adam Garratt you stay safe too, look forward to the day when you can take us all shopping for ingredients again 💕
any tips for scallions/green onions? stay safe Adam.
Same principal mate. Minced garlic and ginger too. I would probably use bigger vessels for green onions. Something about twice the size. Stay safe mate
Hi Adam I’ve been told you can chop fresh herbs put them into a zip look bag to freeze is this actually ok 👍
Yes you can do that too, just mix in a little oil into the chopped herbs and remove as much excess air as possible before freezing.
@@Adam_Garratt just curious but why and about how much oil? X
@@patriciamckay384 just enough to coat it. Its prevents clogging and helps keep them fresh and green.
@@Adam_Garratt thanks Adam xxx
Your freezer is looking bare Adam lol 😝
Pahaha. I took out some bits just for that shot. Had all sorts of random stuff in there 😂
How long do the frozen herbs last in the freezer?
A good couple of months easy. They do lose flavour after a time though.
Adam, would that technique work with Rosemary & Thyme?
You're better to dry out woody herbs like thyme, rosemary etc. There's techniques online to do this. Normally in a very low oven to dry out.
Thank you 😊
You're most welcome Hana
Good information but stay away from talking obeying Goverment they no. Long speak for us pal
