Rice with Broccoli and Cauliflower

I have always been skeptical about frozen store mixes. Yes, this is a good way to preserve vitamins and beneficial properties of vegetables, fruits, and berries inaccessible in winter. But it’s always better to use fresh food. And the taste of the frozen is not the same. It turns out that it’s all about the right preparation. So, after blanching cauliflower and broccoli, we get juicy inflorescences, the taste of which is almost indistinguishable from fresh ones. They can be served on their own or used to prepare various dishes.
