Sundays seem to be the day that I add veggies to my meals. I have always loved veggies and I don't think veggies have any detrimental effects on me, though I know some people do.
One of the veggies that I love is brussels sprouts.
It is very pricey and it is not a veggie that I consume regularly. Since it is a low carb veggie, I can enjoy brussels sprout whenever I feel like it.
As usual, I cooked some fatty beef trimmings in the air fryer and tossed the brussels sprout with the rendered fat. Then I air fried the brussels sprout until they were tender and nicely browned.
I cut the mushrooms into quarters and throw them into the pan with some chopped garlic. I used the rendered fats from a steak to cook the mushrooms over medium heat.
I thought of kerabu and I made some kind of dressing with just lime juice and a bit of Thai chili sauce (I forgot to add fish sauce).
It wasn't that nice because it was missing all the other components of a regular kerabu like mint leaves, daun kesom, cucumbers etc.
Not a fan of brussels but I do love buttons. I guess I am never a veg person - I eat fruits a lot instead.
ReplyDeleteI am the opposite, not a fan of fruits.
DeleteI love to eat brussel sprouts too. Love your home made vege dishes. You may think the taste is still lacking but to me, they would taste great ๐๐
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you love brussels sprout too!
DeleteI love brussels sprout and yes it is pricey, I hardly buy it. it is nice to use the daun pegaga to garnish the dish.
ReplyDeleteDaun pegaga is so decorative and so convenient I have them in my garden!
DeleteSuper glad to see veggies featuring more regularly in your carnivore diet. The first time I had brussels sprouts was a long time ago in a Chinese tai chow place and it was simply stir-fried. The texture was a bit too hard and it also tasted green. Since then I've not eaten them again. Perhaps I should give them a second go by roasting it like you. Any vegetable that's roasted is good in my books! Recently I cooked broccoli a different way (not roasted) and it turned out pretty good and it's now my son's favourite veggie dish. ^_~
ReplyDeleteI believe that's whay they call choi tam and I was crazy over it! Perhaps the one you had was not well executed. I am waiting with bated breath waiting for you to blog about your broccoli hee..hee...
Deleteyour home made dishes got 'standard' lah.....presentation wise already so nice and colorful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you!
DeleteRarely buy Brussel sprout as you said, not cheap!! I think everything in moderation is the key to health.
ReplyDeleteYup, I agree!
DeleteNot really a fan of brussel sprout because I don't like the bitter hint of the veggie :P
ReplyDeleteI see! Next time I will stir fry it for something different.
DeleteYes, I agree with Choi Yen. When I mentioned this green taste, I also meant the bitter hint that I detected too. I guess when it's not stir-fried well, this is the taste we get.
DeleteI don't remember it tasting bitter when I had it at the restaurants and I have had it many times.
