Comments
Italian cooks love to toss this through pasta, serve roasted on top of pizza or long cooking in red wine, garlic and olive oil and served with bruschetta. However we are keeping it short and sweet. Simple techniques that will lift this highly nutritious veg to another level.
Thanks to ETTRICK GARDENS for providing the sprouting broccoli for the cooking demonstration.
