I use small Ikea containers and freeze portions.
Rice is never good to freeze and is always eaten fresh or chilled in the fridge.
I soak the chick peas overnight and it is better than buying tins from the supermarkets ]]> 30 Thu, 03 Apr 2025 00:37:47 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/adding-a-spoon-to-the-pot-to-tenderize-pork.20830/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/adding-a-spoon-to-the-pot-to-tenderize-pork.20830/ invalid@example.com (John Surrey) John Surrey
