Man I love broc but I'm never sure what to make it with.

What do you guys eat broccoli in?
>>
>>7794641
Roast it with some chopped garlic and olive oil and eat it by itself.
>>
>>7794641

Nothing. Broccoli is a side. You get it fresh, not frozen, steam it, and then eat it with whatever else you're having that day.

Fresh broccoli is so sweet it almost tastes like sugar.
>>
>>7793870
Snap peas

no, onion very obviously is

Mac and Cheese with steamed/boiled broccoli is pretty good.

Roasted broccoli works great with pasta.

I peel the stem and give it to my dog, she loves broccoli. When I cut some up she drools and whines.

I usually just steam it or eat raw. I sometimes put it on pizza, in omelettes or quiche, that's about it.

General rule of thumb:

If it's not supposed to contain seeds, then it's a vegetable.
The reproductive organ of the potato plant is not the part people eat.

say you're on a desert island right?

three vegetables will be able to grow in abundance on the island. you will be there for a few years.

you also have a box of kitchen utensils and pots and pans that washed up a few days after you did.

not much other food is available, aside from the odd fish or crab you manage to catch. choose three veg, and choose wisely.

Tomato, onion, spinach

All three are delicious. I picked spinach for its iron content, though I'm not sure it's the highest around. The other factor in my decision is that all three are versatile and can be eaten cooked or raw depending on one's mood.
>>

>>

Onion, mushrooms and spinach.
>>
>>7796075

Spinach doesn't have a lot of iron at all. That's an extremely common misconception that comes from bad scientific measurements of the vegetable in the 19th century that had MASSIVELY wrong numbers, and have persisted through popular culture thanks to Popeye the Sailor Man.

You should really check it out and look into those alternatives that were measured using modern scientific standards.
>>
>>7796075
i'd choose the same, simply for the flavor

mushrooms aren't veggies you retard

eggplant is a fruit

>>7796538
You are wrong. Popeye grew muscles when he ate spinach.
>>
>>7796646

WHY did Popeye grow muscles when he ate spinach? Because they mistakenly believed it had like 8000% of your daily dose of iron.

I really wanted to base my answer only on knowledge that I already had, whether it was correct or not. Meaning just that I didn't want to look up the "best" answer. Though spinach is at least decent on iron, right?
>>
>>7797567
>>7796538
Also I felt that spinach would have a naturally invigorating effect. Even if it's only a placebo thanks to Popeye, spinach would help me grow strong. If I could only manage to procure some seeds and perhaps an Internet connection, I might choose to remain on the island, at least for several years, but that is only due to my having the strength of a sailor man.

Interestingly, this is probably why I rarely eat broccoli today. My palette has expanded greatly since my childhood, but I still harbor an aversion to broccoli.

It's worth nothing however that the same species of plant produces broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, kholrabI, and brussel sprouts.
>>
>>7794641
I make a cheddar and broccoli soup. I can share the recipe if you like. It's LOADED with cheese, contains nice bits of carrot and onion as well, and the crumbled broccoli is delightful with the gooey consistency of the whole thing. Highly recommend using a homemade stock as well, since the recipe really should be made with a high quality cheddar. It's rather unhealthy desu unless your diet calls for a lot of fat, so might as well make sure it's excellent.

Additionally, as I'm a medical420fag, I usually melt cannabis butter into it, for a cannabis, cheddar, and broccoli soup, which is just amazing with the extra bitter and earthy elements to add depth and character.

Holy shit you autists it's fresh as in fresh from the farmer's market or grocery store as opposed to frozen.

Frozen simply does not taste as good as fresh.

>fresh means raw

Never ever not ever have I ever heard anybody describe raw food as "fresh" or fresh food as "raw".

> tfw I'm not even slavic

I'll eat raw beets like an apple or roast them for that delicious smoky sweetness, either way beets are the bomb.

Cabbage is good too, especially in krout bierocks.

Carrots are one of the cheapest vegetables and seriously underrated, especially as a base for soup.

Radishes are also delicious, whether sliced up or eaten whole.

Legumes make up ~70% of my diet

Anyone that puts Corn and Tomato and white button mushrooms (there's so much variety in mushrooms that I have no idea how you generalize like that) above Bell Peppers, Eggplant, and Brussel Sprouts is insane

A 2 cup can of sliced carrots is $.75 from my grocery store and has 105 calories. Great snack. Also fresh carrots are 30cal a pop and because you chew on them so much it's a good way to stop eating after some nuts or chips or something
>>
>>7803617

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but when I do a roast like that I use parsnips, carrots, potatoes, garlic and shallots.
>>
I like to steam greens like broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus and etc and then season them up with balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salt/pepper and eat them like that

Asparagus is my favorite though
>>
>>7796050
Avocado, Tomatoe and Garlic
