Ingredient

Broccoli

Recipes that make the most of broccoli, from crisp roasted florets to quick pastas and bowls. 4 recipes.

Flavour pairings

  • Garlic, chilli and lemon
  • Parmesan and other hard cheeses
  • Soy sauce, ginger and sesame
  • Anchovy, capers and olive oil

Preparation

  • Cut florets to a similar size so they cook evenly, and peel the lower stem to cook and eat it too.
  • Roast at 220°C / 425°F until the edges char, steam for 3–5 minutes for a bright, crisp-tender result, or blanch before stir-frying.

Storage

  • Keep unwashed in the fridge in a loose bag or the crisper drawer; use within about a week.
  • Blanch, cool and freeze for longer storage.

Substitutions

  • Broccolini or Romanesco work in most recipes.
  • Cauliflower can replace broccoli for roasting and curries, with slightly longer cooking.
