The tasty and healthy dock is an interesting addition to our menu. Its application is diverse. Starting with spring soup with dock, oven-baked rice with dock and ending with dock stew and dock patties.
But whatever you decide to make from the nutrient-rich dock, it is important that it is well stewed in advance.
To stew dock, hot water or a steamer can be used. Decide for yourself which technique you prefer.
Pre-treatment of the leaves is also important.
They should be carefully cleaned of the thick veins of the leaf, because they are difficult to digest.
If you choose the option to stew dock in hot water, you must allow the required amount of water to boil vigorously on the hob. Then pour the heated water over the dock leaves.
The covered in water leaves of the dock should stand for a few minutes in the water. Then they will certainly be stewed.
If you use a steamer to stew dock, after arranging the cleaned leaves you should watch when they change their color. The darkening of the leaves indicates that they are well stewed.
The purpose of stewing dock leaves is to make them easier to process, but at the same time to preserve most of the useful nutrients.
