Rehydration of Dried Vegetables With a French Press
Dried vegetables offer a range of benefits, from increased flavor to longer shelf life. When it’s time to moisturize them, use a French press to keep the dried vegetables underwater so that they absorb the water evenly.
The video above shows how to use this technique to reconstitute dried mushrooms using a French press ( which we mentioned earlier ), but you can apply it to almost any dried vegetable (like chili or tomatoes). Make sure they do not absorb the coffee aroma by rinsing the French press thoroughly beforehand. If you don’t have a French press, Marx Foods suggests you use a container and then another slightly smaller container to push your dried vegetables underwater.
