Wet Chopping (was Re: Yippee!)

[Guest guest]

In my latest batch of chili I used the VM to wet chop everything... It took a 20

minute job of chopping/mincing/etc to about 20 seconds.

Another thing you can do for wet chopping is rather than using water, use the

liquid that you'll be cooking in (chicken stock, etc). If you need to drain and

cook the veggies, then save the liquid to re-incorporate later. A LOT of flavor

gets lost to the liquid when you wet chop -- don't throw that away if you don't

have to!

When I wet chop for coleslaw I drink the water or save it to go in future smoothies or anything I need water for in the recipe. I can't stand to throw away those nutrients!Usually, though, I just drink it (I drink 3 cups of water 4 times a day and I can easily use some of the coleslaw water as one of my "doses" of water).
