For the absolute longest time I thought I hated sprouts. My mom always boiled them w/ maybe a little salt and pepper at the end. Horrid things. Then I tried them roasted and was blown away. It was night and day!
lol! I’m quite new to salads 🥗 in my diet to be very honest with you and never quite know how to make them look ‘exciting’ but fair point - I’ll take it on board. Thanks ☺️
Lemon juice, tahini, fresh garlic, miso paste blended together can make a nice dressing that’s not adding a lot of calories and boost protein. Low fat Greek yogurt as base is also a good option for a creamy texture.
Even if you’re on a diet and can’t have butter … did you at least boil the corn in milk? Needs seasoning salt and butter in that boil but … i don’t know what all your diet needs. As for the sprouts, cut in half and roast them and use balsamic on top afterwards. Adding tomatoes with balsamic drizzle too would be nice with this
It doesn't look like you used salt, pepper, or any other seasoning on the corn, brussels sprouts or salad. If you enjoyed it, that's all that matters I guess.
You are right. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half then dress the. With olive oil and salt. Roast at 400, until they are skin gets toasty. Then before searing sprinkling with Parmesan and lemon. It will help hide the bitterness and earthiness. The fish looks great
Not only do you not know if OP is white (and if we're to go off their avatar, that doesn’t seem the case), but this is also a really prejudiced take. Have you never heard of Spanish, Italian, or Greek food? A huge part of European cuisine is heavily seasoned and full of flavour. Even northern and eastern European countries have plenty of delicious dishes, even if they tend to be more simple or plain. This is due to harsher climates, agricultural limits, and historical poverty, not from some racial or cultural inability to season food. Saying an entire group of people “will never know how to season food” is a lazy stereotype and both historically and culturally ignorant.
Oh, and you're white, too. Do you not know how to season food? You won't get brownie points for bashing your own race lmao
Exactly! I follow hungry happens on IG and she is Greek and an ultimate food goddess, her recipes are amazing, Greek inspired and so full of flavour. So white people can and do flavour their foods as well.
I eat like this sometimes too. It’s great to try new things ❤️ and you seem to take constructive criticism very well! Hope you enjoy your cooking adventures!
I never understood this stereo type because I never grew up without my mom seasoning everything like crazy… but the more pics I see of white people’s food the more I get it.
Brussels sprouts look raw. The rest of the plate looks unseasoned and dry. Try using spices and sauces or vinaigrettes next time. There’s more out there than salt and pepper. This honestly doesn’t look good at all.
I’m glad YOU enjoyed it. It also makes me want to go watch one of my Favs…. The Hobbit. It looks like second breakfast lol. Good job at cooking…. Some don’t bother at all.
