I love eggplants sliced sautéed and in a wrap sometimes.

I too was going to put eggplant, but it is not a vegetable...it is a fruit

 

[Addie]

Steamed broccoli with melted butter. S&P

Creamed carrots

Steamed wax beans with Ranch dressing.

 

[blissful]

My favorite things are the things I can't get year round.

Garden fresh tomatoes--in a BLT, or sliced thick between two slices of toasted whole wheat bread, mayo and S&P.

Mushrooms--in everything, we don't grow them.

Avocados--sliced in sandwiches, or soaked in lemon sprinkled with salt and eaten by themselves.

I like almost all vegetables--okra, not so much.

Top of the list, mushrooms! Next is broccoli. After that it's harder to choose. I've gotten to really like zucchini. I also love onions.

 

[no mayonnaise]

Brussels Sprouts, roasted or sauteed
Mushrooms, if those count as vegetables, satueed or on pizza
Potatoes, fried/mashed/baked/au gratin/you get the idea.

If mushrooms don't count, then onions because they're so necessary for so many things as an ingredient.

asparagus on the griddle,brussels sprouts fried up with smoked bacon,potatoes any way you like....especially the spuds we grow @ bolas's
'taters are the best imho!

Grilled asparagus. I'd live off of it if I could afford to (Pricey these days in my opinion!)
Green beans. Love to throw them in a veg chilli, or just dip them in salsa... Yummm...

Now here's the tough one. Number 3... Can't decide between cauliflower or broccoli... Do I have to choose???

eggplants :

papoutsakia = grrek recipe translated as little shoes. grilled eggplants filled with minced meat saucea nd topped with bechamel sauce

moussaka

and eggplant deep, melitzanosalata

i also like eggplants in a stew with beef or just garlic plums and tomato sauce

 

[robodisco]

Brocoli - Tastes fantastic with anything salty such as anchovies, bacon, soy-sauce. Also great with chilli and garlic panfried.

Egg Plant/Aubergine - Lamb, Apricots - what a combo. But Basil with goats-cheese is awesome too.

Since its summer - Watermelon. Goes fantastic with goats-cheese but a vietnamese twist would be with a green chilli, corriander and lime dressing plus some really fatty sweet bbq pork.
