PLain vegetables= BORING!!!?

Question

I plan to have steamed vegetables for breakfast tomorrow, but eating them plain isn't so appitizing... so does anyone have any idea of what kind of sauce or something that'll spice it up not literally spicey....but have some more flavor and i hate butter....so please any suggestions are urged !! :) thankyou.

Answer 1

a small amount of cumin will definitely add that spice (without the acid)! will taste like taco seasoning if ever had. Cumin be a light well seasoned taste from the mild area of the pepper adds enough spice and be not to spicy. Curry can suck on a vegetable plain and end up tasting bitter due to the turmeric added with certain foods like carrots.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice is good on most vegetables. Or try a few shakes of some different vinegars , if you have them; balsamic, malt vinegar , white wine vinegar, etc

Answer 6

Veges for breakfast???? You poor dear!!! Well, how about blending them all up in a blender with some chicken or vegetable broth, salt and pepper, a little lemon juice and have a nice vege smoothie instead?

Answer 7

instead of steaming the veggies, you could saute them in a little bit of olive oil (add garlic and/or onion for more flavor). that way, they are good to eat by themselves, or with cooked pasta...you could also add a little balsamic vinagrette for a flavor boost.
& i am a huge fan of sea salt and black pepper, so you could always add a bit of both of those to enhance the flavor.

happy cooking! :)
