H
I grew up spoiled and immature, and therefore didn't develop an appetite for veggies, which is severely hindering my dive into cooking as an interest. Please give tips or dishes to help ease me into it.
>i tolerate onions, garlic, garnishing, mushrooms, and carrots
>big chunky/grassy veggies make me gag
This is my current threshold I worked up to over the years.

Try bisques. They're quick, easy, infinitely customisable and if you truly detest leafy veg (not quite sure what else you might mean with "grassy"), you can make a spinach bisque taste of everything but spinach.
My spinach bisque recipe is so simple, it can be cooked in a microwave. Most of my bisques are and can.
As for chunky veg, which ones do you mean specifically?

Yeah, basically, but don't do those disgusting green smoothies. I used to have a Cornish co-worker who would wince as she drank her daily "green juice" and I always wondered why she didn't just… idk… find some way to get in her five-a-day that she actually enjoyed.

Cook them with meat.

Beef stew works great with most vegetables.

Give an example of your bisque microwavable please.
>chunky
Veggies with a bit more bite into them usually in the dishes they're in. Broccoli, bell peppers, cabbage, big slices of tomato, etc.
>leafy
Yeah this is what i meant. I want to be able to eat lettuces on a burger.

Yes I got to eating carrots and smaller chunks of celery because of this

Roasted veggies are super simple and really add a lot. You avoid the nasty mushy texture and can easily season it with a little toss in olive oil and some salt and pepper and you have a fantastic side to whatever entre of choice.
Brussels Sprouts are my personal favorite but you can really do it with everything. Broccoli gets a really nice little char on it, carrots will caramelize, peppers really intensify their flavor
You can't go wrong with 350 and 10 minutes or so.

I use a 3lt measuring cup. In it, goes
• 400g chopped onion
• 350g blanched, shocked and chopped spinach.
• 30g instant rice
• 4 tbsp butter
• A couple stock cubes
• And enough boiling water to hit the 2lt mark.
Just nuke 8ish minutes, let rest another 5ish for the rice to hydrate through then blitz smooth in the blender. That's it. You can make it tomato (swap spinach for 400g tomato and some of the boiling water for 650ml tomato juice), carrot (400g carrot), beetroot, turnip, broccoli, bell peppers, celeriac, parsley root etc etc etc
The tomato one gets you three servings of veg per 500ish ml finished soup due to the juice; the others just two. You can garnish with sliced boiled egg or add bits of meat. For example, the carrot one is great with dried chipotle in it and bits of cooked chicken at the end (I used to use chipotle stock cube but that no longer exists, much to my displeasure). Bacon grease instead of butter and ham stock cubes go well with the spinach and you can crumble the cooked bacon on top at the end. Beetroot is nice with beef brisket or pork breast. A meatball or two or sliced sausage goes with everything.

You just need a lot of butter and salt..

Roadt them in a pan with meat, so they suck up dem juices or something.

Any vegetables in particular that you're trying to get in your diet? I find most leafy greens are pretty good gently sauteed in olive oil with garlic and a bit of lemon and salt/pepper at the end. Some tougher ones like collard greens or kale, you can blanch first or braise in stock.

Its all about finding a dish you like them in and building taste tolerance that way. For me I hated these but now can eat them raw
Broccoli: break off small and simmer in a Asian brown sauce.
Green beans: Saute and finish with garlic and honey.
Cabbage: cut thin, sauteed and add to rice or noodle dishes.
Cauliflower: Food processor till it's the consistency of rice. Fry in skillet with onions, garlic and ground beef/sausage.

Eat frozen vegetables and just focus on cooking things you actually like. Frozen vegetables have a less robust flavor than fresh produce.

Vegetables are unhealthy. Listen to your gut.

Fry. Be generous with oil and seasonings. Add some sugar. That's it.
