Vegetable macédoine

A macédoine is a French culinary term that refers to a salad of various vegetables and sometimes fruit. Usually the vegetables and/or fruit are cut into small cubes and mixed with mayonnaise or another dressing. Macédoines are often served as an accompaniment to a main course or as a light starter.

And this is how you make the Macédoine from vegetables:

-Cooking à l'Anglaise means that you cook each vegetable separately in salt water. The green beans and the green peas can be boiled in the same water.

-Grate the carrot and then cut it into small cubes, peel the kohlrabi and cut it into cubes as well. We cook the green beans whole. Only after cooking do we cut them into small pieces.

-First put a pan with water and put a handful of coarse sea salt in it. Bring this to a boil. On your counter, place a large bowl of ice water (or very cold tap water) with it in a colander.

-First boil the green beans, al dente in about 5 minutes, with a slotted spoon you scoop the beans into the colander that is in the bowl with ice water. This way you stop the cooking process of the vegetables and they keep their beautiful color. Let the vegetables drain further on kitchen paper.

-Repeat this process with the peas and then replace the water with freshly salted water. Bring to the boil again and now cook the kohlrabi, then the carrots.
