In a word...yes

. It's lovely in a stir fry or even raw in salad.

My psb's only got tiny little heads at the moment.......am watching impatiently.
i tend to steam greens.......

Usually we steam them. I wouldn't boil them as that would take a fair bit of the goodness with them. But it depends whether you like your veg "a bit crunchy" or not!

We do Stir Fry too, but only if we are having that sort of a meal.

I cook all my veg, greens and roots, in a pressure cooker and use the water to make the gravy. Its how my mum cooked veg and it sort of sticked with me.

Mr TS will only eat vegetables, esp green ones, if they are smothered in mint sauce

Oooo steamed PSB with boiled potatoes, a nice sausage and some gravy. Heaven.

Always steam my PSB, anything else is wasting this delicate vegetable.

As SWMBO gives them to me. I couldn't cook properly to save my life, fortunatly SWMBO not only likes cooking she is damn good at it to.

Steam all the way. Sometimes shred kale (Tuscan) into veg soup (homemade).

Steamed - healthy. Then I undo all the good by melting a bit of anchovy butter on top. (Butter beaten up with anchovies - you can freeze portions.) Wonderfully flavourful!

...How do you eat your Green's? Do you boil them, stir fry them, add them to other thing's or eat them raw?

I like to cook mine in a little garlic butter. I also made some Purple sprouting broccoli quiche yesterday .

All of the afore mentioned. I like my veg with a bit of bite. Anything boiled to a slime consistency is a turn off and reminds me of school lunches. Do they still do them?

Veggies usually steamed here, some are roasted and boiling only if they are in soup. Stir fried if that's the meal of the day

Trying to decide at the moment if I want to make white sauce for the cauliflower
