10 QUOTES WITH «BOILING»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word boiling.
1
Tom Colicchio
I have kind of a weird technique with zucchini. I cut it into small cubes; sweat it in olive oil, adding just a little oil at time so it crisps. Then I cover it with boiling water, not stock, which really brings out the flavor of the zucchini, add lemon, thyme, and serve it with burrata and a fried zucchini flower.

Will Hobbs
I've been collecting articles on extremophile bacteria for at least the last ten years.
