The same old veg....

[Meg888]

I always seem to do the same stuff - broc, cauli, cabbage on sunday lunch. Can anyone give me some inspiring alternatives?

Last week I roasted the cabbage & broc in soy sauce, mustard S&P - needless to say it didn't go down too well!

honey roast carrots
Sweet potatoes mashed with butter and a little nutmeg
hot beetroot in horseradish sauce
braised celery hearts or fennel
stir fried shredded spring cabbage with sesame seeds and ginger

What about Leeks possibly in a cheese sauce. My mum used to do culi cheese now & then as a change to plain cauli

Buttered leeks are nice.
I suspect the best inspiration is to stroll around the shop/supermarket and see what they have that you don't usually buy.

parsnips
butternut squash
love friend spring cabbage
seet potatoes

we always have broccoli, carrots and green beans because they are the only 3 that everyone will eat!! I like lots of other veg but no one else in the house does!

Finely chop some brussels and stir fry them with some chilli flakes. I've bought sugar snap peas for a change tonight.
