Garlic 1st. I chop a few cloves of garlic for spinach, green beans, broccoli, etc. also add it to other dishes. Onions 2nd because onion is more work than garlic.

^^^ But garlic makes your fingers stink like onions don't.


But, nothing new here. Onions and garlic reign.

Although I wonder if powdered garlic used as a seasoning really counts as a "vegetable."

Onions (yellow, white) are a big one here, too - mostly for flavor, they stretch a lot of meals well, they help soften meats, and they are good detoxifiers for the body. Next is probably broccoli since it goes well with stir fry's or as a veggie on the side.

Given that the cuisine I cook the most is Puerto Rican, there is sofrito in most of it, and it consists of:
onions
green bell peppers
cubanelle peppers
garlic
tomato
cilantro
culantro
ajies dulces (sweet chili peppers)
oregano

and I add to that a jar of stuffed olives with capers, a jar of roasted pimentos, and some oregano brujo (cuban oregano/broad leafed thyme)...

a few tablespoons of this ground up mixture goes into anything stewed, souped, or in rice combos (chicken with rice, paella)...

so I guess I get a bit of all this quite often, but I also add onions, garlic & lots of peppers to meals too...

and I LOVE potatoes in any way they're cooked!!!

spinach, broccoli, and when in season, zucchini.

Onions or excess garlic give me trouble.

Onions and garlic, which onion depends on what I'm making but I usually have spanish and red onions to hand. I use pre minced garlic which is a great cheat.
