Best broccoli recipes

[Hdhdhdfjhf]

Any good broccoli recipes? We like it and have it as a soup or just boiled alongside other meals. Please share any nice recipes for more interesting dishes. Vegetarian, but also share meat ones - I can adapt them and they may suit others.

Simple broccoli soup:
Fresh broccoli including the stem. Or frozen broccoli.
Potatoes
Onion
Stock
Boil up for about half a hour/until tender. Blend and add cream to taste.
Approx amounts: One 500g ish head of broccoli. Three medium potatoes. One medium onion. Serves three to four.

Cheddar, cauliflower, leeks, etc all work well as additions/replacements. If you don’t mind a strange colour add a carrot, tomato and bit of celery.

I love broccoli and this is my favourite way to eat it and also super quick.

Gnocchi, broccoli and pesto. Ready in about five minutes and very comforting.
Chop a bag of tenderstem into chunks - cook in boiling water for about three minutes before adding gnocchi for about two minutes - til they float to the top of the water.
Whilst they’re cooking, toast some pine nuts.
Mix pesto and some of the gnocchi water in a bowl to loosen.
Drain broccoli and gnocchi and mix with pesto.
Toss over toasted pine nuts, chilli flakes and Parmesan.
Total comfort food

I also sometimes roast tenderstem and have it in a wrap with some seasoned roasted chickpeas, salad and humous.

Broccoli in cheese sauce, with or without cauliflower, is lovely. Slightly undercook it, cover in sauce, herby breadcrumbs on top and grill or bake to crisp the topping.

I also like it steamed and mixed with leeks, peas and green beans with some garlic butter.

Low carb broccoli cheese.

Boil broccoli til tender and drain.
arrange in dish.
drizzle over some single cream.
sprinkle with grated cheddar.
add some Parmesan.
in the oven til golden brown.

My favourite is:

Boil pasta and steam broccoli lightly on top. Slice garlic and fry until gold and crispy in some oil from sun dried tomatoes jar. Then fry some pine nuts in same oil or toast them separately. Add some chilli flakes. Chop up some sun dried tomatoes, then toss them with the broccoli and pasta and the garlic pine nut oil. Add fresh basil on top, grated cheese and olives if you want.

Really easy, really delicious.

Boil or steam broccoli. While it's cooking, make a dressing of soy, lime juice, sesame oil, finely chopped chilli. Can grate in a bit of fresh ginger/garlic. When broccoli cooked, coat well with dressing . We have it like this with Buddha bowls or as a side with noodley things.

What on earth is a Buddha bowl?
