The 5 best recipes for Tenderstem
HAVE YOU TRIED TENDERSTEM BROCCOLI? IT ORIGINATES FROM JAPAN WHERE IT WAS DEVELOPED USING CLASSICAL PLANT BREEDING TECHNIQUES. THE IDEA WAS TO BREED A MORE FLAVOURSOME BRASSICA BY CROSSING BROCCOLI AND CHINESE KALE...
1. TO STEAM
Pop your Tenderstem in a regular steamer and steam for 3-4 minutes until the stems are al-dente.
2. TO BOIL
Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil, plunge your Tenderstem in and bring back to the boil.
3. BBQ/GRIDDLE
Toss your Tenderstem in a little olive oil and seasoning. Place on a hot BBQ or in a hot griddle pan, turning until the stems are lightly charred.
4. ROASTED
Preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, toss in a little olive oil and seasoning (you could even add a few chilli flakes, a little cumin or your favourite spice) and roast for 10-12 minutes until the stems are crispy and golden.
5. RAW
Simply washed and trimmed, Tenderstem spears can make delicious and fresh-tasting crudités. Make a simple dip for them by grating a cucumber and mixing it Greek yoghurt, a crushed garlic clove, a dash of lemon juice and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
Why not try making Tagliatelle with Tenderstem, Thyme and Tallegio Sauce, find the recipie here here
