How do you cook your Veggie's ?
I like to steam or roast them most of the tie the odd occasion I will boil them but not often , .
I was reading an american forum and apparently some people just stick them in the Microwave oven :eek: on the basis that they cook faster therefore retain the goodness .
so how do you cook yours
microwave , steam , roast or boil ?

if i boil them i tend to stick them in the pan where my spuds are boiling for different time lengths depending on the veg............eg carrots will go in 5 mins after my spuds, cauli 10 mins, broccoli 15 mins.................assuming spuds will take about 20 mins
It really does depend what meal they're gonna be part of.
Par cooking potatoes can also be done in the microwave. Also mine is a combi oven and has a jacket potato setting which is good for roasting new/baby potatoes.
Stirfry is always a good option as well as the char gril for some veg.
If they're more of a feature of the meal then roasting with herbs is really tasty.
For mediterranean it can be a sprinkle of sea salt and a splash of olive oil (maybe also a splash of balsamic).
For Asian/stirfy a splash of soy and/or fish sauce.
He took one bite and said the veg isn't cooked
I do like green bean casserole which is more cooked through.
They taste really fresh still and the ease encourages me to eat more vegetables.
I also like them in stir fry. I fancy that now in facts
Hahaha
I agree. I used to always want some shredded chicken or meat in a stirfry or Thai curry but now prefer them meat free packed with fresh veg and herbs.
Noooooooooooo mushy veggies are so wrong
