Add the stems first when cooking; separate the greens and add at the end of cooking as they cook quickly Scallions – after you clean them up they can also be sliced and frozen -place in a freezer baggie and grab a handful when you need them for cooking. Peppers of all kinds can be cleaned, seeded, diced, or chopped and frozen without blanching.
