Romanesco Broccoli Quick Side Dish
Almost too pretty to eat! A sort of cross between broccoli and cauliflower. If you are wondering WAT to do with it then this is quite a good side dish or even a quick healthy lunch. It is great with fish and you can swap for normal broccoli or cauliflower.
Serves 2 as a side
Ingredients:
1 romanesco broccoli
1 organic chicken stock cube
1-2 tbsp jalapeno peppers, roughly chopped
1 tbsp chives, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, diced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Few drops lemon juice
Pinch of dried chilli flakes
Sea salt and black pepper
Cut broccoli into equal sized rosettes and place into a saucepan with some newly boiled water until they are just covered. Stir in the chicken stock cube and boil for 5 minutes until soft. Drain and set a frying pan onto a medium to high heat. Pour in a tablespoon of olive oil and add the diced garlic clove. Let this fry for a 1 minute before adding the romanesco and cook for about 3 minutes seasoning with salt and pepper. Plate up with the broccoli and sprinkle over the chopped chives, jalapeño peppers, chilli flakes, last tablespoon of olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice.
