Some great tips for freezing things. Certain things freeze really well, and are convenient to use in small amounts:
- Pesto
- Pureed chipotle en adobo
- Chicken stock
- Tomato paste
For things that are really runny (like chicken stock), I pour the liquid into ice cube trays, freeze them, then pop it out into a freezer bag, from which I can get a few cubes as needed. Even better: if you measure out how much liquid goes into each ice cube, you'll know exactly how much to add to your dish!
For things that are really thick (like tomato paste), I cover a small plate or cookie sheet with parchment, spoon out some ice-cube sized globs and let them freeze, then bag 'em up as well.
Certain other fresh or prepared foods freeze really well:
- meatballs
- won tons or other dumplings
- certain fresh berries
- fresh peppers (red, green, even jalapenos!)
