The Attractive Cooking Of Vegetables In The Diet

Eggplant, broccoli, pumpkin, asparagus and spinach are beneficial foods for the body. The problem is that they are not always included in the daily diet: They are not very typical of an attractive cooking.

The ignorance of techniques that favor the attractive cooking of vegetables  leads many people to dispense with these foods  and the fibers, minerals, antioxidants and nutrients they provide.

Regular consumption of vegetables helps prevent cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.

In addition, it accelerates healing, prevents premature aging, protects eye health, contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system and guarantees adequate hydration.

Its low calorie content is another strong reason to consider its frequent intake. However, it is precisely this lack of fat or flavor that makes vegetables unappetizing.

It is especially about offering something interesting for children. The good news is that there are hundreds of tips to get them to taste delicious.

Tricks to achieve an attractive cooking of vegetables

They are healthy, nutritious and generally available on sale in supermarkets.

Those who dislike their smell, consistency or taste, can choose from many ways  to make an attractive cooking of vegetables. These are some of them:

• First, mix. A single dish with a variety of vegetables will hardly be conspicuous, unless they are combined in different types or shades.
• To vary. Always choosing the same vegetable is a bad option, even in creams. The diner will end up getting bored and disowning it.

To conquer the palate little by little, you have to alternate the fresh ones with the frozen or preserved ones.

• Accompany. Eating only vegetables is not pleasant for those who are not used to it.

 If they are served with other foods, they will be better visible and will be eaten with more satisfaction. Even a simple dressing can make a difference.

• Innovate. Something fundamental in the kitchen is creativity, especially when it comes to vegetables.

If they are always made in the same way, they may not be tolerated. You have to change. With them you can prepare purees, cakes, desserts and countless dishes.

Cooking and seasoning influence its flavor

Sweet or sour. To tell the truth, vegetables, by themselves, are not very delicious.

Ingredients such as salt, lemon, olive oil, cumin, parsley, herbs, honey or pepper will be useful when you want to give them a different and seductive touch.

Choosing the correct technique is vital for an attractive cooking of vegetables.

• If they are going to be baked, it is important to consider that not all of them require the same cooking time,  so special care must be taken with the mixtures.
• Cutting them to the same size will help them cook evenly.

Delicious ways to incorporate vegetables into your diet

• It is not the same to try a steamed chard than to taste it in the form of a croquette. Nor will a simple carrot cream taste the same as one containing ham and Parmesan cheese.

The breaded is liked by almost everyone. Hence, broccoli meatballs or pumpkin tempura are worth trying.

• Pizza lovers can add potato, sweet potato or cauliflower to the base, even add arugula, aubergine, artichoke or spinach to sauces. In addition to succulents, they will look very colorful.

• A carrot mayonnaise will be great for a hamburger or pasta. The same goes for a spinach and hazelnut pesto or a yogurt and cucumber dressing.
• Spaghetti is a classic and liked by many people. Why not make them with beets, zucchini or spinach, with a little bechamel and gratin cheese?
• Muffins, brownies, cakes, and even chocolates can be added to vegetables like beets, zucchini, and carrots.
• The vegetable juices must also be taken into account. A carrot in a tangerine juice is a real delight, especially in hot weather.

There are many recipes, but with this one you can start to give vegetables a different appearance:

Chips with a touch of onion

• 3 tablespoons of powdered milk (30 g)
• 1 tablespoon of grated aged cheese (15 g)
• 2 teaspoons of onion powder (10 g)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil (16 g)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (10 ml)

• First wash the vegetables well, preserving the skin. Place on absorbent paper to release all the liquid.
• Second, pour the milk, cheese, onion, lemon juice and olive oil into a bowl and mix well.
• Then cut the vegetables into slices of about 2 mm, trying to make them all the same. Dry on absorbent paper.
• Roll them in the mixture, place them on a plate on parchment paper and heat them in the microwave for 4 minutes at 800 W.
