I've increased my vegetable intake recently. Unfortunately I don't like raw veges, so I boil them. But then they taste a bit bland. However, I discovered that sprinking Piri Piri seasoning flakes (I get the bottle from the local supermarket) gives any soggy old vegetables a bit of a bite.
So, yesterday I boiled up sweet potatoes and onions with chilli. The flavour goes through the veges, nice and tangy, and adds few, if any, extra kilojoules. It also means I'm less inclined to pour on the salt. The veges go well on wholemeal toast if mashed as a replacement for margarine.
