What is your favourite vegetable and favourite was of cooking/eating it

[SunnyWithAMeatball]

My favourite vegetable is artichoke. My local Italian restaurant has a vegetarian pizza with artichoke which has to be one of my favourite foods ever.
The canteen at work does stir fried artichoke as a side dish option and I make a point of eating in the canteen the days that it's on the menu which is not often enough iny opinion.

Never got round the challenge of preparing artichokes at home though. I need to have a crack at it and see if I can get the hang of it.

Anyone else want to share their favourite vegetable? Trying to eat my vegetables and get some new ideas.

Swede. Roasted with curry powder and italian herbs. Cut up like wedges

Love love love artichoke. I also love Brinjals / Aubergines. My husband was away this week and I made an enormous eggplant parmigiana which I ate all week.

Cabbage. All kinds.
Ferment, roast, boil, pickle, raw.
Excellent, underrated veg

Love broccoli or green beans oven roasted!
Also a big fan of leeks and mushrooms in any way they’re cooked!

Leek. I love it done in cream or in butter or as soup. However it comes, really 😋.

Another artichoke fan here. I like the jarred variety in salads, on pizza or Roasted. I’m also a fan of cauliflower drizzled with a little oil and curry powder and roasted. Fennel is another regular, oven cooked daupinois-style. Love it when vegetables are the star of the show!

Agreed - very under rated veg, generally cheap and it lasts a good while - plus you can do loads with it - I like it in a stir fry.....

I'm going to try that!

Aubergine and cauliflower. Aubergine with lots of oil, I mean LOTS

Cauliflower roasted until very crispy in small florets.

I really like courgettes and courgette fries are divine, although I cant get them to work at home.

I ate a whole bag of sugar snap peas raw whilst cooking dinner the other day

I know it’s not what you meant but they were fucking beautiful

If you’re in London, Bocca di Lupo in Soho has a spectacular artichoke dish in the menu at the moment — deep-fried but also pickled.

Aubrrgine, roasted in slices with a smear of harissa.

Another cabbage fab here, I really don't understand why people seem to dislike it so much! Probably my favourite way to eat it is sauteed with onion and bacon 😋 I also make a delicious slow cooked buttery braised cabbage dish which is amazing, but I like it in all forms really.

I've never come across a veggie I didn't like. If only that was otherwise with bacon. There are very few savoury dishes that wouldn't be improved by adding bacon.

I go through fads.
Currently it's roasted aubergine and roasted sweet potato as part of my buda bowl.

Green beans sautéed in butter (or olive oil), salt and pepper and cooked just long enough to have colour on them but still have a bit of bite to them. Could eat them every day.

Me too.
Leafy green cabbage lightly boiled with bacon or in bubble and squeak.
White cabbage in sauerkraut or coleslaw.
Spiced red cabbage.😋

As you say, an excellent, under rated and I'll add, very pretty vegetable.🥬

Enjoying carrots roasted with skin on whole served sliced with crumbled feta and toasted pine nuts on a bed of couscous or rice

Blimey your work canteen sounds dead posh! I love artichoke but usually just buy the hearts in oil from Aldi.

The globe ones you get in Italy with garlic butter are also lush.

Leeks in a cheesy sauce with roast dinner is a fave.

Roasted cauli or broccoli. I learned that on here and they are sooooo much nicer than boiled.

I also do chickpeas in the airfryer. Does that count?

Spinach, use it in a hundred different ways and dishes

Sprouts with a bit of butter. Food of the gods.

Runner beans, just steamed.
Also love cauliflower and happy with it any way, roasted, fried, boiled, cheese.l

I love sprouts steamed till soft and a small dab of butter mixed in - I also like cauliflower mash

Broccoli with cheese

Honey roasted carrots

Leek in an onion soup

Swede, just mashed with butter and black pepper.

I like things simple.
