\"\"\/<\/center> <\/p>\n

Green leafy vegetables demand respect! Delicate leaves of ethereal beauty, they are a test of the cook’s patience and prudence. From plucking the leaves to preparing and presenting them in an appetizing manner, they present quite a challenge. As with many matters in life, deal with a light hand and greens will reward you by being tasty and nutritious. Use a heavy hand, they will wilt and weep into nothingness. The spirit or saaram<\/em> of the greens disappears just like in any abused case. No wonder then, even the experienced cooks use caution and a gentle touch, when it comes to handling greens. <\/font> <\/p>\n

By combining different types of greens, and by accentuating each preparation with the appropriate seasonings and garnishes, it is easy to create a different dish with green leafy vegetables everyday of the year. Fresh leaves, tender stalks, sprouts, sprigs and herbs, each with its own varied texture and complex flavors present an opportunity for the sensitive cook to ceaselessly creative, and also to reflect on the nourishing nature of mother earth. <\/font><\/p>\n

That is what we, the food bloggers did for “Going Green -JFI:WBB Event”<\/a>. <\/font> <\/p>\n

Raw, baked, boiled, deep fried, stir-fried, steamed, sauteed, sauced and saucy – some well-treated and some veg-vandalized:), all done of course with well-intentioned love and affection. Here they are – green leafy vegetables in their glorious avatars presented in all colors of rainbow. <\/font><\/p>\n
