once i went to a free vegan diner thing at a park that guy it'svegetables dumbster diving. i know that the vegetables aren't that much different then at the grocerry story but the hole dumster thing makes me a little cautious..like i reckon you have to make sure your vegies are very very well cooked...
It makes ya cautious because we're conditioned to think that once it's been thrown away, once it touches a garbage bag, it's absolutely unedible, or it's filthy, or something like that. When really, it's not.
But yeah, I'll wash it real well before using it. Also, remember that quite a few of these items were still sealed in plastic! So they're no dirtier then the ones on the shelf inside!
You sautee the white asparagus in butter with some salt and pepper and garlic until its tender, then you serve it with lemon wedges. Or, you could make a mushrooms newburg sauce, (cream, flour, sherry, paprika, cayenne, pepper, butter, garlic) add the asparagus and serve over toast points. yum!
As for the leeks....beats me. :P Never liked the damn things. They look like mutant grass.
Well if its just one of them, obviously, you must petrify it, create a pedastal and admire it for the rest of your life. And give it a really artsy name like "Leek contemplating suicide".
(sautee basically means to cook something in a pan on a medium heat with oil/butter. Or to jump, in French. I like using french words, they make me feel chef-like. :P)
Okay, in that case, I know how to saute something. Awesome.
(And my medium leans more towards photographs, as you may be aware... Perhaps I can take a photograph of it staring off the roof of a large building, contemplating it's fate.)
Stroganoff!! Stroganoff is a creamy asparagus, sour cream, wine, yogurt and onion base thats poured over noodles. You can make it with shrimp, beef, veggies or tofu, its lovely. :)
Leeks are a relative of onions. They basically taste like an onion, only less strong. Chop the white part (the green bits are kind of tough) and saute it, and then add other stuff. Good in soup and in general as a replacement for onion. Yummy.
