You can make a lot of vegetables taste better by adding things like spices, watch the sodium if you have high blood pressure.
Butter or olive oil is nice, as well as a little pesto. Avoid the margarine!
I've been eating more vegetables recently, and use the steam bag variety. Add what condiments you may enjoy in small amounts, vinaigrette and balsamics go well with them.
See pic for good seasonings.

The more you cook it down or add other shit to it the less nutritional benefit you will get. Best way to eat them is either raw or steamed or microwaved to preserve the most nutritional content. You can add some salt but that should be it.

What seasonings did you try? I've had good tastes from doing it, but my spice cabinet is ridiculous.
Some may not recommend it, but if you like cheese flavor you can either add cheese or do the popcorn seasonings.
I do them, a little doesn't hurt in moderation. They're also great with instant noodles, just drain the broth a lottle.

This. You can make a big pot or slow cooker of stew with meat, and add tons of vegetables that you may not normally like. Some you want to add later in the cooking time, carrots and mushrooms can get really soggy.
Figure out what you like the most, and go from there. Everyone has different flavor pallets, but you also want to be mindful of the calories or bad fats.

>Well how do you make stew?
- take a fatty meat(chicken thighs with skin on, beef roast, pork shoulder), brown it in a hot pan
- cut up the vegetables into not too small pieces, usually I use spinach, onions, cabbage/beans, garlic
- add the meat and vegetables into the pot with either beef/chicken stock, or water and beef/chicken boullion
- cook until meat if fork tender
- remove meat and shred if you're using a large chunk (roast, pork shoulder)
- add the meat back in to the pot
now the stew is done, but I don't really like watery stew so I

How long on pan for? How long on pot for? How do you reduce liquid to prevent watery stew? Any spices or anything to this?

>> No.11917497

>>11917413
>How long on pan for?
sear the meat on the pan at high settings until visibly brown, the idea isn't to fully cook the meat, but to get the colour. So, it will depend on how hot your pan is, how cold the meat is, etc.
>How long on pot for?
cooking in the pot depends on what type of meat you're using and how big the chunk of meat is
>How do you reduce liquid to prevent watery stew?
bring the stew to a rolling boil, and wait for the water to evaporate, stirring occasionally so nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot and burns. Another way to thicken a stew is to use cornstarch or flour.
>Any spices or anything to this?
I usually put some bay leaves, rosmary, thyme, etc. But I just eyeball an amount.

Why don't you look for some written/video recipes for beef/pork/chicken stew. They'll probably explain it far better than I will.

Get a pressure cooker. But a reasonably sized chuck steak, even a small one will do. Brown it up in there with a small bit of oil. Put a bit of stock in there, seasonings and a fuck load of vegetables, way more than you intend to eat with the meal. In less than an hour you will have vegetables that taste like roast dinner, throw them in a container and chill. You can just toss them into whatever or eat them as is.

>> No.11917907

>>11917497
To OP: check recipes online. Go to your grocery store, and look at the meats. Do you see boneless chicken thighs at a price you like? Take out your phone and look up "boneless chicken thighs with vegetables slow cooker." Is some beef roast to your liking? Do the same.
We can give you general tips all day, but can't give you specific information about cooking the items until we know what you want to make.

Try some mccormick's Montreal chicken or steak seasoning, as well as mrs. Dash. Add some hot sauces, ones that have more flavor than heat as well. Add the seasoning before you cook, and the sauces at the end.

Next, don't worry about buying your food and bringing it back to tell us, just pick what meat you want, look up a recipe on your smart phone (if you have one) then buy whatever additional items you need for the recipe. Then add what you want!

starve yourself you fat fuck until the very notion of any calorie will be good.
also helps if you refrain from a multivitamin while starving yourself.
becuase food tastes good when your body needs it.
better to eat the shit you hate when you are desperate.

well then fuck you and exercize more,

Whenever I cook eat I deglaze tha pan, spoon the juices over the meat a few times then throw my veggies into the pan with the meat for about five minutes and let them cook in those juices. The veggies won’t turn to much this way and will still have a nice snap to them being cooked this way. They also pick up all that nice complex flavor from the meat which really helps tie the dish together flavor wise.

This is how I did it, OP:

1) Drink some green tea every day (plain, no sweeteners or anything)
2) Eventually move on to matcha. You will learn to appreciate the taste of quality matcha, which will change your palette and acquaint you with bitter tasting things.
3) Now for the vegetables, I would recommend spinach and asparagus. These are by far the best tasting green vegetables IMO. Don't eat lettuce, it doesn't taste good and has shitty texture to boot.

This is the easiest way to get into vegetables. I was raised on McDonalds and Wendys almost every day because my parents are retarded. It's never too late to change your tastes though, but it's a gradual process.

Try different vegetables. There's a fucking lot of them. You like meat? Try beans and lentils. Lentils are fucking... like a cup of them is 300 calories and 30 grams protein and if you don't like the taste just douse them in cumin and turmeric and paprika and you're good.

get fresh veggies if you can, they're tastier and healthier.

If you're wanting veggies as a snack, try combining them with various dips or dressings. I like hummus, but you do you.

good luck on eating healthier anon.

Also, try to avoid excess sugar. Some veggies have a natural sweetness to them, but you're tastebuds might not pick up on them if your palate is accustomed to Soft drinks and Mars bars. Take away the excess sugar, and you might appreciate the tastes you didn't pick up on before.
