and you are just a little tired of steamed, fried, grated, juiced, stir fried or baked choko. When it seems as that the choko vine keeps churning them out at a rapid rate of knots.
Then they are easily disguised as
apple and blueberry crumble!
I know that a lot of people have grown up only knowing a choko which has been firstly overboiled and then swamped in white sauce. Not a good look (or taste).
In my opinion, there is nothing sweeter than a young choko quickly steamed and tossed in a little butter and pepper.
However, this is a good trick if incognito is required! When the family gets just a little tired of the never ending green vegetable making an appearance at yet another meal.
I just made up some poached fruit - in this case sliced chokos and apples and added some frozen blueberries for a colour change! For sweetness, just the usual dash of vanilla
and covered with some crumble, just some rolled oats, butter, brown sugar and a bit of cereal mix.
Who would have thought they started out like this - well I didn't add the beans. The truth of the matter is the humble choko is really a bland flavour which will take on another influence very easily.
My little kitchen secret - and no one was any the wiser! The trick is to slice the choko and the apple the same way and not too thickly - and the addition of quite a few blueberries or another berry. Enjoy!
cheers for now
