How to prevent peeled fruit or vegetables turning brown

To prevent this, you will find many recipes that tell you to coat them with lemon juice as soon as they are peeled. It's relatively effective when fruit are simply to be used peeled, but if you want to make a coulis or a sorbet for example, this is no longer sufficient. February 21th 2011129 K4 1 min.

Fish in a salt crust
Fish cooked in a salt crust is simply baked in the oven, surrounded and completely covered by a layer of coarse salt. This allows the fish to cook gently and it should be eaten as soon as the salt crust is opened. In this version, it is stuffed with lemon and herbs. Using a thermometer is the best way to ensure that the fish is cooked to perfection. January 29th 2012181 K3.8 1 hour 8 min.
