Overlooked vegetables

[Herr Tubthumper]

Beetroot

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

If beetroot is overlooked, it thoroughly deserves to be.

Ian Hollowhead.

 

[Mellotron]

Butternut Squash.

 

[Hillian1]

Courgettes, love them in salad or roasted.

 

[dougdeep]

Aubergines. All those Greeks can't be wrong.

 

[tinycowboy]

Often overlooked: soya beans (does this count as a vegetable?)
Often overcooked: broccoli (no more than 4 mins max please)

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Raw carrot. Why do so many people insist on cooking it?

 

[Seagull27]

Butternut Squash.

Just what I was going to say.

I'll throw in the sweet potato. Much better than the normal variety.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I LOVE beetroot.

It's a must for hamburgers over here.

Another fave is the Apple Cucumber.



Might be called something different in the UK.

Braised leeks. Scrumdiddlyumptious

 

[dougdeep]

Turnips, great in a stew.

I can't recommend this enough. Beetroot and horseradish pie. I have beetroot a lot, delicious.

Padron peppers. The lottery of whether you will get a hot one makes them even better

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Butternut Squash.

Agree. There is a very good Levi Roots recipe for curried butternut squash.

 

[Mellotron]

Just what I was going to say.

I'll throw in the sweet potato. Much better than the normal variety.

I was going to put Sweet Potato first but I think it does get recognised nowadays, and correctly so. It's lovely.

If beetroot is overlooked, it thoroughly deserves to be.

Nonsense.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Sweet potato and butternut are great shouts.

Beetroot, on the other hand, is not. I once heard it described as 'Satan's bloodclot', which I think rather sums up its appeal (or lack of).

A man of good taste.
