How people cook with it

- Steamed as a side dish
- Added to casseroles

To prepare, you can simply steam them until tender-crisp, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. They can also be sautéed in a pan with a little butter or olive oil, perhaps with some garlic or shallots for added flavor. For a heartier meal, they can be incorporated into baked dishes like green bean casserole or added to soups and stews during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to retain their texture. They are also excellent when blanched and then chilled for salads.
How it differs from similar foods
