I have to eat more vegetables. What is a delicious way to prepare them other than salad?

Answer 1

There are many ways to prepare and consume veggies, from including them in sandwiches to eating them raw. But here are a few thoughts about some forms of preparation you might consider. Steaming veggies is healthy and delicious. You can steam everything from beans to cauliflour. If you bake fish, fowl or meat, try putting veggies in with them, such as chopped up carrots, corn, beans, onion, celery, etc. GOOOOOD! You can shiskabob them, along with meat if you like, and cook them on the barbecue. In fact, try barbecueing asparagus spears next time you start up the grill....you'll love 'em. Another way to cook up veggies is to WOK them....you don't need to use oil to stir fry by the way. A small amount of water works fine....and you can try adding a bit of Pam if you'd like.

Answer 2

Salads are great, but they can get boring.

Check out Cooking Light's website for creative vegetable recipes.

I made a White Bean and Vegetable Stew with a Red Wine Sauce tonight. It is delicious, and from their website.

Also, when you go to the market, try a new and unfamiliar fresh veggie. I bought purple green beans (for the above stew). I was disappointed to see that they turned green when cooked! At least I tried.

Cut up fresh veggies and have them as snack. They are very flavorful this way.

If all else fails, add bacon grease to veggies when you cook them.

Answer 5

I've always been a fan of raw fresh vegetables. If you have room, try planting a small garden with stuff you like. Working in it will make you want to eat the "rewards" of your time and labor. (And there's nothing like home-grown vegetables.)

Answer 7

My favorite type of broccoli stir fry - I use tofu, but, you could use chicken breast or steak strips. About 5 cups of broccoli, and 1/2 pack of tofu (two and a half servings to transfer for replacement) 2 T of peanut butter, 1 T soy sauce, 2 T water, ginger to taste.

Spray or oil pan, cook broccoli and tofu partially. Mix peanut butter and water together, then add soy - add to mixture, continuing to stir well, cooking to desired texture. When well coated, add ginger to taste.

Answer 8

Use a juicer. That's the best way. Use them with fruits. That way, the fruits overpower the taste of the vegetables. It tastes great!

Answer 9
