Honestly, battered broccoli would probably go hard.
66 1 ReplyI mean if they HAVE to have one, an easy choice is cauliflower. It's a neutral tasting vegetable that can be turned into mashed paste or other forms. It already finds itself in several recipes and uses.
Other than that, I wish more places in the world did fried zucchini
23 3 ReplyI went to a restaurant recently that had fried cauliflower in a sesame sauce or something. It was pretty good and I normally don’t like cauliflower.
8 1 ReplyCannot disagree more.
I love all sorts of veg, but cauliflower has a very distinct earthy taste that cuts through anything.
Its not neutral. Its depression incarnate.

Veggie tempura. So yes
9 1 ReplyBaked broccoli is amazing. Toss it in some olive oil and salt and pepper and then roast at 400F until the “leaves” start to char.

Mushy peas did at least start out as a vegetable.

Why don't they count as veg?
Also, if you want to sell birroa tacos, do you have to serve with carrots now? If you sell hot dogs you also have to serve with whole decorative compliance onions?

Maybe they're regarded as 'ultra-processed'. Like a lot plant-based meals in supermarkets aren't actually any healthier than the thing they're replacing, because they've had the shit kicked out of them by the industrial process.

Have a brown bread butty with it and call it a day.
2 0 ReplyI'm of the opinion that anything marketed as a meal should be close to nutritionally complete. There'd be variations and exceptions of course, like raw ingredients. But there's no reason a burger couldn't have 10 grams of fiber, for example.
