Briefly immerse vegetables in boiling water (6)

I believe the answer is:

blanch

(Other definitions for blanch that I've seen before include "Remove the colour from something" , "woman" , "Become white or pale, maybe with fright" , "Become like 17 Across, perhaps through fright" , "Go pale as with fright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
