As a kid I hated veggies but as I got older I really enjoy some veggies, especially broccoli, roasted in a drizzle of olive oil and a little seasoning.
As an American, I also used to abhor vegemite when I tried it until I learned how to properly spread it on toast during my visit over there and I’m obsessed now!
What did you hate, but gave a second chance to? I’d love to try some new stuff!
Asparagus.
Used to hate it, had it once in season in Germany, it was so fresh and delicious, I learned how to enjoy it there.
Yessss!!! Another one that I love roasted or with some butter and light salt.
Next time, squeeze a lemon over them. Thank me later.
Yes this and also try adding some garlic pressed or diced.
This is how I usually cook em. (Optionally blanch for like 30 seconds if they’re big or you find em bitter til they’re emerald green) Toss em in some olive oil with a bit of white pepper and garlic, grill or roast to desired doneness, squeeze of lemon. Delicious with a steak or alongside mushrooms.
Welp. I know I what I’m trying tonight!
Just don’t try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.
