Cooking - vegetable versatility?

[Pacion]

Is there any vegetable or fruit that you think is versitile? That you have to have cooked it or prepared it at least a few times a week?

Hmm. How about spinach? I don't cook it three times a week, but I could. There's raw spinach in a salad, then there's steamed spinach cooked/seasoned a million ways, then there's spinach stew (West African staple dish -- called Palaver sauce.) You steam the spinach as usual, then use it as a base to make a hundred different variations of stew, depending on what you add. Pretty tasty, too. Really GREEN, though. LOL.

Yeah! And you can bake spinach into breads, or have a spinach pie, or quiche, or pizza, etc. etc.

That's not to say spinach is my favorite, it just is versatile.

Tomato.
Raw in salads, fried as in British style breakfast, canned cooked tomato in just about everything from pasta sauce to soup to chinese stir fries... I'd be lost without it.

I like spinach too and have it quite regularly (but not usually with tomatoes for some reason :?).

Belated welcome, Underfoot. :)
