Chive flower sauce

Overview

[Ingredients Story] ◆Leek flowers, also known as chive flowers, are white flower clusters that grow on leek moss in autumn. They are mostly picked when they are about to bloom, grated and pickled into sauce for consumption. Farmers often call them chive flowers. ◆Chive flower sauce is a kind of homemade sauce made by northern folk. It is usually sealed and preserved in autumn for winter consumption. Most of the preparation methods of chives are to grind them into paste, and adding chili pepper during the grinding process seems to be an ancient method. Yelu Chucai of the Yuan Dynasty wrote in his poem "Deer Tail" that chives are as spicy as green onions, while mustard chips are pungent and similar to cinnamon and ginger. It doesn't seem to be as spicy without the chilli. When eating, use clean chopsticks to pry it into a small dish, and drop some sesame oil on it. The fragrance will be fragrant and appetizing. ◆Eating leek flowers can stimulate the appetite, enhance appetite and promote digestion. Chive flowers are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, riboflavin, ascorbic acid and other health-promoting ingredients. ◆There are many ways to eat chive flower sauce: use it as a dipping sauce when eating hot pot, Northeastern sauerkraut and Sichuan white meat, butcher's cabbage, and eat meat slices dipped in chive flower sauce. It is really an indescribable enjoyment. ◆Chive flower sauce - the sauce of family affection, the sauce of love! Shabu-shabu mutton and Sichuan white meat are a must! A great product for making friends while traveling at home! Have you eaten today?

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 grams of fresh chive flowers.

   

2. 2 It’s best to cook the chive flowers as soon as you buy them.

   

3. 3 The accessories require an apple, a piece of ginger, and some salt. The salt on the market now has different degrees of saltiness. The medium salt I used is 160 grams, which is for reference only.

   

4. 4 Pinch off the excess stems from the chive flowers and wash them several times. I found out that this product was quite dirty. I washed it at least 6 times before the water gradually became clear. After the water becomes clear, soak it in salt water for a while (this will make it cleaner), and then wash it two or three times.

   

5. 5 Wash the chive flowers and place them in a clean place to dry.

   

6. 6 Slice the apples and chop the ginger. There is no need to chop the peppers. (Do not cut them in advance. Wait until the chive flowers are dry before cutting them.)

   

7. 7 Put all the ingredients into a food processor and puree until smooth. Note: If it is very dry, add a little cold water (and then add half a spoonful of salt) and beat until it becomes puree, and it will be Euler~! Of course, if you like the traditional method and have enough physical strength, you can use a mortar and slowly pound it into mud, which is also great!

   

8. 8 Because the capacity of the food processor is relatively small, I beat it many times. In order to avoid uneven taste, put all the chive flower puree in a large pot and mix it well. Finally, put it into an airtight container, put some strong liquor on the mouth of the bottle, seal it with plastic wrap, and then cover it.

   

9. 9 After bottling, store it in the refrigerator and it will be ready to eat in more than a week.

   

10. 10 Okay, you're done!
