Notes

  • To degorge a vegetable is the process of sprinkling salt over it to eliminate excess water. Courgettes, marrows, aubergines, cucumbers, and cabbage are often salted, rinsed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Some vegetables need to be coated with starch prior to deep frying (courgettes, marrows, aubergines). This prevents the food from breaking up and preserves their shape and texture. The coating seals in the moisture and the flavour during the frying and prevents it from absorbing too much oil.
