El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm a huge meat-eater but my ex is vegetarian so I learned to cook a lot of stuff we'd both eat. My current gf also digs on veggies a lot so I get a lot of good ideas from her. And of course, who would I be to forget to thank my mom for some excellent veggie cooking tips. Corn: put that shit right on the grill without shucking, or shuck it and boil it. Either way, butter and salt that shit! Broccoli: I fucking hated broccoli until my mom got a grill basket, which is exactly what it sounds like. Somewhat thick metal basket with some holes in it to let juices drip out and flame directly cook. In a mixing bowl, toss broccoli with some olive oil, a little salt, some finely chopped garlic (a little goes a long way) and some ground black pepper. Then directly on the grill, tossing a couple times until you see the edges start to blacken. It's the only way I'll eat broccoli. Asparagus: While very very good sauteed, I prefer it done the way I like my broccoli. Same method, just use regular salt, garlic, black pepper, and olive oil. I like to put it in a ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight before grilling. Place it directly on the grill, no need for a grill basket. Mushrooms: Not a veggie but a delicious fungus. My current GF stuffs them with garlic, cottage cheese, mozzerella, with salt+pepper+cayenne+italian seasoning, then bakes them. I like stir-fried mushrooms, and grilled portobello. all deeelish. Brussel Sprouts: Fuck brussel sprouts. Cucumber: Thin-sliced, with a dash of salt and little red wine vinegar and you have yourself an incredibly delicious, healthy snack. If you don't like vinegar, I find them delicious with just salt or even plain. Either way, they're mostly water and a good way to get into eating veggies. Other ideas: Cambell's Creamy Chicken & Dumplings soup has a good amount of veggies in it for someone not used to eating them. Cream-based sauce dulls the flavor, and its pretty good. Chili is a GREAT way to get some veggies in you. My uncle makes his chili with beets in it. He cooks it so long the beets basically absorb the flavor of the meat and actually have a similar texture (to 16-hour stewed meat). You can put pretty much anything into chili and it'll end up absorbing the flavor of meat, so it's a great way to have some onions, peppers, corn, beans, etc. Stuffed peppers. Getting a little more adventurous here, as peppers tend to be more flavorful, but as someone who took a LONG time to love the flavor of a chile relleno, I can say this is the best way to enjoy non-spicy peppers. Also, use bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 deep fry the bastards. Anything tastes better when deep fry. Hell, pepper even tastes better when deep fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Get some fresh green beans Clip both ends get a deep skillet and put in just enough water to cover the green beans bring to a boil and let cook until green beans turn a bright green drain water Put back on burner on low Add salt, pepper, minced garlic and about 2 tbl of butter fry till the butter is almost completely fried off the pan and absorbed on the green beans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Forgot about edamame. Get some frozen edamame (soy beans), microwave, salt the fuck out of them, and pop them out of the pods and chow down. Very healthy, relatively flavorless (other than the salt) and a good texture. Its a legume, not a veggie, but goes well with other veggies and gets you used to eating colorful things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 The V8 Fusion drinks are really good and have fruits and veggies. But my real suggestion is to just imagine the vegitables as tiny little penises and I'm sure you'll have no problem putting them down your throat.
