To all the veggie haters:

Broccoli recipe:

Fry broccoli with paprika and small pieces of meat or tofu in a pan until brown.
Add water and seasonings.
Steam to desired hardness.
Serve with rice or couscous.

Cauliflower recipe:

Make brown butter by heating up butter and adding breadcrumbs to soak it up.
Serve it on enough steamed cauliflower to justify the amount of brown butter you are about to eat.

Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.

For anyone with taste buds, let's be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.

Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them strips away a lot of the nutrients and flavors, leaving you with tasteless mush. Like you're cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.
