NOTES : Vegetarian Delights

 

Vegetables are a gift from nature. Many vegetables are typically eaten

raw and are extremely delicious as such, although cooking actually

enhances the flavor of many of them. Cooking certain vegetables swells

and bursts their starch cells so that the center becomes soft and more

digestible. Vegetables frequently are the " quick and simple " course of a

meal both to prepare and eat. They are delicious just steamed with lemon

juice or sautéed in olive oil and so accommodating that they can be

either the main course or the dessert of a meal.

 

When buying vegetables, buy only what you can use immediately. Look for

pieces that are unblemished, firm to the touch, and lacking of any mold

or black spots. Wash vegetables thoroughly several times in order to

remove all the dirt. Cauliflower, broccoli and other leafy vegetables

should soaked for a while. Artichokes should be soaked in water with the

addition of lemon juice to prevent them from turning black.
