what do you want to accomplish is what you should ask

>>17229211
I like broccoli but I want to change how I prepare it before I get tired of eating the same thing several times a week .

Also I’d like to end up with something that is edible if I’m trying new things .

I don’t think the mint goes but that’s just me. If your fat source was greek yogurt and not coconut oil mint would be ok.

Broccoli is too expensive to throw away if it tastes horrible .

>>17229328
Do you think the lemon zest will help or hurt the flavor ?

>>17229378
Lemon goes with brassicas and fat

>>17229378
I think it improves the broccoli. Gives it some freshness

>>17229378
I've had broccoli with a bit of lemon before and it's good. I've had broccoli in coconut curry and it's good. I've had mint with coconut curry and it's alright. I think it should be alright.

Thanks , then it looks like I’m having mint broccoli and chimichurri hot dogs for dinner .

>>17229211
lose the mint, add garlic and olive oil

>>17229443
Ok.

For the record I said greek yogurt because I was thinking of mint tzatziki to dip the broccoli in. Raw or roasted, whatever.

How are you preparing this?

>>17229456
This ?

>>17229480
Not really sure . You may not have noticed , but I don’t know how to cook very well .

>>17229481
nice.

that is just my taste though.
I dislike mint.

>>17229542
I think I’ll chop the mint and try sprinkling some on after I cook so I can see if I like it . That way I won’t ruin the whole batch .

>>17229579
I love roasted broccoli.
This is a good base recipe, obviously feel free to substitute or add ingredients of your choice.

so how many more hours are you going to waste

>>17229628
Was planning on wasting two more hours , but I can hurry up if you’re becoming impatient .

>>17229652
I've been cooking since this morning and am wasting time as well right now. But you're being redonkyouless. And I don't care what you end up cooking. I'm just talking trash. Cause you're trash.

>>17229685
Kill yourself

>>17229338
No it's not. Stop being poor.

>>17229690
I think not, my ramen is almost done. That would be silly to spend all day making ramen to not taste it.

Had to stop to sharpen my knife .

>>17229705
How about you stop seeking attention.

It's fucking broccoli.
Get over yourself.

>>17229742
That’s not going to happen , lol .

>>17229705
lel @ being retarded in the kitchen but having a ten pound whetstone for some reason

Keep going.

Don’t cook the yogurt or lemon but do cook the garlic pls

Tastes good , might use double the yogurt next time .

>>17229954
>this is what people who shill those retarded whetstones cook
o i am laffin

>>17229954
Is that a lemon pig and fireball?

>>17229211
change broccoli for peas.

>>17230085
Yes ?

>>17229954
oh shit it was you all along!
>>17230127
kawaii

>>17230134
Not really , it’s a pig and leaves a mess everywhere I put it .

>>17229211
I eat a pound of broccoli everyday. Here's my routine:
>boil it till soft
>make sure some water left for a sauce
>mix in some vegetable flavor Better than Bullion, Asian chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, and a sprinkle of Accent seasoning (msg)

I promise you you won't get tired of eating that. Make sure you use vegetable better than bouillon. It's the best one for broccoli

>>17229954
Those dogs need chup

oh no the weirdo appears again

>>17230614
I like that stuff and now I have a new way to use it . Thanks .

>>17230671
They were good with just chimichurri .

>>17230682
OUCH ! A normie is calling me a weirdo .

>>17230861
Chad weirdo post

>>17231333
The first pic on google images when you type in chad weirdo , lol .

I think you can use lemon and a fat to roast almost any vegetable I can think of. Lemon is good with most things.

>>17231355
I don’t think I would have liked it without the garlic .

> lemon pig

i didn't know about this

>>17231886
They’re a lot of fun . I made mosaics for the lemon pig threads .

>>17229211
Lemon does not work with broccoli.

>>17229211
> Mint with lemon

>>17229211
just make steamed broccoli with a thicccc carbonara like sauce and cheese on top of it like everyone else

>>17229954
The yoghurt was meant for a tzatziki you absolute sperg, glad it was tasty though

>>17229211
Mint and courgette works very well. I made these fritters a few times last summer:

https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/easy-courgette-fritters-recipe

https://archive dot ph/nI7f8

Don't like broccoli, though, because it causes too much flatulence.

Learning about chimichurri ended up being the best part of that meal .

>>17232287
wrong
squeezing some lemon juice into broccoli soup, or over garlic roasted broccoli tastes great

newbie cook here. Would OP be better off replacing mint with dill weed because he has lemon?

>>17234565
either way works, just depends which herb flavor you personally like more

>>17234565
Op here , I ended up only putting chopped mint on a few pieces of broccoli . I think for me the only way the lemon works is if the garlic is not overpowered by it .

>>17234591
you should pick up some thai basil from whatever asian grocer your wife shops at, its good with garlic and vegetables and coconut oil. also bok choy and chinese eggplants are good low calorie sides that cook up fast if you get sick of broccoli.

maybe next time.

>>17234623
I’ve tried bok choy a few times. I think next time I need to cook the white and green parts separately .

I saw that meme video of John Cena putting Lao Gan Ma on his broccoli so i decided to try it for shits and giggles and it turns out that its a pretty good combo

>>17234691
Off to google .

>>17234691
That looks interesting .

>>17234691
So far this is my favorite combination .

>>17234638
yeah I feel the same way when I cook normal bok choy

the curly dwarf bok choy don't have that problem. actually if you like brussel sprouts I'd say it's closest to them of all the bok choy

>>17234718
Fucking love this shit, just make sure it's "Spicy Chili Crisp" and not "Fried Chili in Oil" or one of the other varieties.

Blanched broccoli, carrot, peppers, onion, vermicelli, sesame paste, laoganma and soy sauce. Easy and delicious.

If I was cooking broccoli basically by itself I'd more likely do traditional garlic&white pepper though.

>>17231886
Mashed.com stole our pigs bros

>>17234994
I don’t know what type of animal that is but it’s going into the next mosaic .

>>17234623
>basil
Another thing is one of those 50 packs of wontons.

>>17235158
yeah but he's on a diet and I've never seen him eat a carbohydrate that wasn't fruit

>>17229954
what a reveal, it was this faggot again

>>17234691
>>17234718
This Thai one is better they just don't have they payout that apparently you people have for posting here so many times.

>>17235168
Yeah but nobody said he had to eat them all at once, space them out.

>>17234718
When you become a shill and post here so many times about total crap over and over again it becomes noticable.

>>17235208
Posting tonight’s dinner just for your pleasure .

>>17235377
kys neet

>>17235377
Looks pretty good though I'd use a real glass for the drink.

>>17235377
I think that glass needs a handle on it so it doesn't slip or anything like that.

The haters are active tonight .

>>17235469
Maybe they're vampires or werewolves?

>>17235447
>>17235467
It’s a peanut butter jar . I switched because it’s wider and easier to clean and it’s recycled .

>>17235469
Maybe , I think I’m broken though , I actually like it when they show up . I have no idea why .

>>17235486
It looks like it needs a handle so it can't slip, even from condensation.

>>17230614
The Vegetable BTB really made the broccoli taste better . I used it with Parmesan flakes .

>>17235503
It also looks like it pairing, sharing is caring. Both with handles.

>>17235503
It’s close to being too big to grip .

>>17235516
What's a BTB? Better Than Breakfast?

>>17235530
Even when I was a little kid I could glass blow and I'm not far from Corning and they'll do anything you want. I almost burnt the crap out of my hand once, no joke. It all healed up real fast.

>>17235532
Better Than Bouillon .

>>17229338
Why buy fresh when you can buy frozen already cut in those microwavable steamer bags for only $2?

>>17235561
Ahhh, that's it.

>>17235564
It's good for frozen peas, those are great for if you have a hangover.

>>17235564
Fresh tastes better , and in Alaska the frozen is quite a bit more than $2 .

>>17229211
Kill yourself

>>17235581
Fresh broc doesn't taste any different to me. If anything, the "fresh" is more often than not shittier. Honestly. Frozen bag has no cutting required, no dirty pot to steam. Just a bag in the microwave. Easier and cheaper

>>17235609
Spending fifteen minutes trying to decide how to cut the broccoli so each piece is the same size is half the fun of cooking .

I mean , if you look in the bag it’s like the people in the factory don’t even care .

>>17229338
where the fuck do you live where broccoli crowns are almost 4 bucks a pound? i live in commiefornia and i pay 1.99/lb at most

>>17235717
Alaska

Thanks Osteranon. You inspired me to buy broccoli today.

Gonna get some lemons and garlic tomorrow.

>>17235759
I only used a small amount of lemon zest . I feel like if it overpowers the garlic you won’t taste the broccoli .

>>17235516
Nice, I'm glad you liked it. I made dairy free basil pesto to put on top of riced cauliflower and chicken thighs tonight. I used the avocado recipe from this video and put way more garlic, lemon, and added oil. You could even substitute in fage.

i've enjoyed mint and lemon on my broggle for years, actually. never used coconut oil for it though, i fry it in olive oil. maybe try sesame oil, i know other brassicas are good with sesame oil

>>17232304
its good on nasty greens like broccoli or greenbeans

>>17229954
HAHA! IT'S YOU! I thought you stopped eating fruit because you stopped losing weight.
Next time roast the broccoli and make Tzatziki with the yoghurt.

>>17229211
swap the mint for cilantro and add some coconut milk and curry powder aswell. woila

>>17237560
I can’t give up my apple . Read too many apple threads on this board . I did stop eating fruit with breakfast and lunch though . I’ll have to look up Tzatziki .

>>17237574
Soapy broccoli ?

>>17238065
It's a yoghurt sauce made with yoghurt, cucumber, mint, lemon juice, parsley, garlic and olive oil.

>>17229211
steam brocoli with the yerbabuena herbs, then friy with the coconut oil and then add lime.
t. mexichango

>>17238071
I googled it , it opened a rabbit hole of possibilities . Need to study all the varieties and dishes that go with it .

>>17238197
Make a kebab or pita pocket and slap some of that shit on.

>>17238180
>>17238071

> Tzatziki
> yerbabuena herbs
Oh no , I’m back in school with study lessons , lol .

based eco-chad

I've made a point of minimizing plastic use in my chicken (glass bowls, glass storage jars, etc.) because glass is recycled infinitely.

>>17238966
Yes , let’s go with based eco-chad . It’s definitely not because I’m too cheap to buy something that I can make for free , lol .
