This.
Also overcooking veggies is one of the reasons texture and smell is attributed to people not liking veggies..
Broccoli and brussel sprouts are almost ALWAYS over cooked.
Broccoli for us is steamed 3-4 mins and then sprayed with lemon juice and sprinkled with grated parm.. YUM.
Apsaragus- hot Skillet with some (just enough to barely coat the pan)
olive oil, salt and pepper, roll around in the heat till its bright green/slightly chared.. (maybe 3-5 mins) :drool:
Brussle sprouts roasted with garlic vinegarette in the oven .. yum
If you can watch anything Alton Brown and NOT want to cook it.. then there is no helping you.
