As far as I can remember I always disliked vegetables. Well, today I bought some broccoli because everyone here is saying how great it is for your health. Could you guys please post some recipes/tell me how to prepare it so I won't hate it?
If it matters, I will be eating it with grilled chicken and baked potato.
boil it
>>36897212
eat it with cheese sauce
>>36897237
Yeah no.
Put water to boil, with abundant salt.
When it's boiling cook the broccoli in it until it's bright green (a few minutes will be enough) strain it and cool it with cool water.
Grill it.
Enjoy.

Boil it add lemon juice and/or olive oil
Eat it raw you fucking pussy. It takes no time to prepare, has better nutrition than if you cooked it. So what if you don't like it?
>>36897285
>Yeah no
>continues to boil it
ok
>>36897212
Steam it and season with lemon pepper
Steam it and add some lemon on it.

tastes like shit though literally

Boiling broccoli is literally the worst way to cook it.
Too many non-cooking DYEL new-fags here.
Steaming / microwaving is the only non-dumbass way to go. I cook mine in the microwave in a pyrex bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.... you experiment by including things like butter/lemonjuice/garlic until you find something you really like.

I know how you feel. It's really a mental block more than anything else. I grew up hating veggies and it's taken a lot of genuinely hard effort to normalize it.
Here's a recipe that isn't the healthiest way to eat broccoli but helped me overcome the mental aspect. It's really quite tasty.
Mashed Broccoli -
-3 parts broccoli
-1 part peeled, diced potato
-boil until it's soft enough to mash
-drain pot, turn hob down to a low heat
-Add garlic (idk how much. I just sprinkle some granulated on there)
-Add salt. A bit more than you might usually use works well here.
-Add pepper. I like a mix of coarse red/black peppercorns and white powdered pepper but anything will do
-Add chives or spring onions or something. Parsley too if you have it.
-put it back on the hob and just move it around for a few minutes to ensure any excess moisture is gone
That's about it. The broccoli is overcooked by this point so maybe not as good as raw or steamed but it still contains a lot of goodness and it's easy to actually ENJOY it in this form.

Microwaving it wrecks the nutrients you get from it you mongoloïd. Boiling or raw are the only ways to go

No but really, longer time under heat=more nutrients destroyed.
And the microwave requires the least time to thoroughly cook the brocco.

I seriously hope this is bait
Eating isn't something I do for fun tbqh famuel. These days I just throw a bag of spinach into the juicer with water and drink it down.
So unrelated question. All I've got to eat is processed crap: been eating spam, canned beef, and Vienna sausages. It's really starting to make me feel like shit.
Am I better off just starving myself on potatoes and onions? It's the only real food I've got this month and I think I'm gonna die if I keep on with what I'm eating.

How did you get into this situation? Why don't you have enough money to buy some vegetables and cans of tuna?
>>36897878
Holy shit what do your farts smell like
Buy some cheap canned beans and corn and peppers and make some Mexican chilli before catching scurvy
Fruits in the morning, an omelette too
These are all cheap, low or no prep time foods
Get your shit together

The issue isn't destruction
The issue is leeching
Boiling leeches the most nutrients. Followed by steaming, frying, baking and finally microwaving.

Are you fucking 6? Just eat it plain steamed. Enjoy the bitter greeniness of vegetables. The only vegetable you're allowed to hate is Brussels sprouts. Those taste like armpits.
>>36897937
But muh microwaves are evul
>>36897878
This is why you always make sure you have rice, beans and some frozen veg stocked up senpai.
>>36897851
Sounds great, have you tried tomato juice instead of water?
>>36897851
>>36898055
Also do you not mean blender? A juicer separates the pulp, or do you just mix it back in?
>>36897212
steam it with garlic salt
Then graduate to the true man's veggie: brussel sprouts
I eat this shit all the time.
Cut into pieces, put into bowl, add a bit of water and nuke it for a couple of minutes (this steams the broccoli)
Heat a pan, add some butter, fry up the broccoli and add some salt and pepper. I add garlic too because broccoli goes great with garlic.
>>36897212
Wash it and eat it raw you cunt
I just eat veggies raw. For whatever reason, I can't stand the taste when they're cooked.
Just fucking slice it and cook it with chicken breast...
>there are adults out there who hate vegetables
Worse than children
Just eat your damn food
>>36897212
Buy some nacho cheese and lay it on thick. Toss in microwave for 20 seconds and WHAMO, healthy snack
I put 2 parts cauliflower to 1 part broccoli in the food processor and blitz it until its the the same texture as cous cous. Fry a whole bunch up in a big cast iron pan with butter, garlic, onions and sliced peppers as well as enough spices and soy sauce or whatever to mask the taste of cauliflower. I eat that for lunch most days with baked chicken breast and its just like having chicken and rice or whatever but paleo I guess. Ive dropped a shedload of fat since new year and my shits and general health are glorious.

Steamed broc master race reporting in
1. Cut it to desired size
2. Get a microwave-safe container with lid
3. Put in enough water to coat the bottom
4. Add some salt and the broccoli
5. Put lid on loosely
6. Microwave 8 mins
Does it matter at all if you eat it raw or cooked? I'm partial to raw.
1. Break your broccoli into pieces
2. Put it in a bag and toss with some olive oil (obviously the more olive oil you use, the more calories it will be- I usually do about half a TBSP for a large serving of broccoli)
3. Put the broccoli on some foil
4. Toss some minced garlic over the broccoli
5. Season with a little salt and a lot of pepper
6. Wrap up the broccoli with the foil into a tight little bundle
7. Toss it into a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until bits of the broccoli are starting to get dark
8. Pull it out and squeeze some lemon juice over it
It's delicious.

Bake the potato and scoop out the middle. Mince the cooked chicken and raw broccoli and throw it in with whatever else you want. Grab a spoon and enjoy
I have to control myself when it comes to raw broccoli and spicy hummus, I will eat a mountain.
