I’m not a chef but thanks. The presentation was something I learnt over time.
Why not bake the code with the red pepper and caper relish?
Looks good btw just going through your methods.
I would bake the code with the pepper and caper relish. Put the butter beans with the coconut sauce in a small bowl/ramekin and shredded and tossed the roasted cabbage with the dressing for a better presentation.
The red pepper relish has vinegar, capers and raw red onion in it, it would clash with the coconut. I also roasted the peppers on an open flame to remove the skin and soften/wilt the peppers slightly for easier digestion. The relish was cold and was intended to cut the richness of the cod main. Cooking that in with the cod would completely change the flavour profile I was going for by making the dish entirely too sweet and unbalancing the dish.
I didn’t want to put the beans in a separate ramekin, I have a million ramekins; that wasn’t the presentation I was going for.
The cabbage was also roasted in quarters it’s not supposed to be shredded and tossed; it’s not a salad that’s what the peppers were for. This was a rustic Mediterranean feel not a fine dining experience. Also I didn't want to wash all those plates.

I need help with my vegetables, for whatever reason I have trouble with making them tasty. My son will devour everything else and bush the veggies, he used to love the purees and stuff when he ate them so I know it's not the veggies themselves
Corn, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, green beans, cabbage, sweet potatoes, I'd love some inspo

All about the seasoning for broccoli I use salt, garlic powder, onion powder. Asparagus I just use salt and pepper some people add minced garlic it’s all preference. Are you trying to season canned sweet potatoes
or fresh ones?
I use turkey necks in my cabbage and green beans. Corn and carrots are already sweet and flavorful, i dont add anything to carrots, course sea salt and butter on my corn on the cob. Aspargus, i add a bit of teriyaki too them since they dont really taste like shyt. My kids are picky and i always have to doctor up veggies to get them to eat them

@Yinny Maybe try making them in different ways e.g I looovvve roasted cabbage or roasted peppers into a salad, Charred kale that kind of thing.
Also maybe try boiling them less so they retain colour and crunch.
Hide the extra vegetables, if you use a juicer all the vegetable “trash” freeze it then break off a couple pieces and chuck into soups and stews.
Try different dressing, I always make a salad dressing like a lemon vinaigrette cos it’s like 4/5 ingredients in a jar and shake shake, but a yoghurt dressing is healthy and can be customise with herbs and spices like chive, raw garlic, chilli powder a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of lime juice, healthy and quick.
How old is your son, perspective also makes the job easier, xyz makes you big and strong. Did you know that when iron man was your age he ate beets every day. Why do u think his suit is red. Iunno whatever works man.
Present your veg in other ways, so hummus is still veg, dip some peppers into it great.
Last but not least get them to help, doesn’t matter what age he is. The kid and I were cooking from he was at least 6, let him explore. Start by giving instructions such as mix this for me please, or hand me so and so. Food is tactile and he can taste the results of his hard work, that sense of pride associated with a dish he made makes them eat more. Also ask his opinion, “taste this, does it taste ok?” He may not know but he may feel proud that you value his opinion, he may even make something up but he will enjoy being asked.
Pick a dish you wanna make together like a quiche for example, make it vegetarian and get him to help. You may just need to supervise and give guidance here or there.
This was how I expanded my little cousins palate, he also loves to cook and eat the results he’s 12 now and eats everything. The one down side is he never wants a kids meal, he wants a steak too
brown on the outside and pink on the inside he says.
Hope these are helpful.
