Cook briefly in boiling water (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blanch

(Other definitions for blanch that I've seen before include "Whiten; boil (veg) briefly" , "Remove the colour, turn white" , "(Of vegetables) cook briefly in boiling water" , "Remove the colour from something" , "Go pale as with fright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
