Flavorful Cooking Made Easy With Dorot Cubes

I discovered Dorot frozen cubes at Trader Joe’s by accident. I was looking for frozen vegetables when I stumbled upon the little ice cube trays of chopped garlic, minced basil and crushed cilantro. How could I resist the urge to boost my recipes with flavor that did not require me to chop and peel the garlic, harvest and clean the herbs, and find time to prep them? Thanks to Dorot’s products I am now cooking at warped speed.

There are twenty small cubes of pressed garlic in a tray about the size of a slice of bread. The flat packaging conveniently fits neatly into the door of the freezer for easy storage. After you remove the red lid and cellophane seal, you just pop the frozen garlic out and instantly blend it into gravy, sauce, dressings or a marinade. My fingers no longer reek of garlic and there are no presses and cutting boards to clean. Using Dorot cubes in my own recipes is a huge time saver.

Grown and produced on a kibbutz in Israel, Dorot products are free from preservatives, added colorings and are naturally delicious. The trays and fillings have a 24 month freezer shelf life so they last longer than the seasons if you were growing the contents yourself. I am not the Martha Stewart type so I need someone else to cultivate the herbs, prep them and package them neatly into trays for my freezer. Thanks to Dorot I can just cruise into the frozen vegetable aisle at Trader Joe’s and get all the glory as if I slaved in the kitchen.
