Suggestions for broccoli recipes?

8 replies

I have a glut of broccoli and am running out of ideas. So far I've made:

Broccoli in cheese sauce (baked in the oven with breadcrumbs as a healthier version of macaroni cheese)
Broccoli and Stilton soup
Broccoli and walnut dip
Plain steamed broccoli alongside venison casserole
Broccoli thrown into tuna, cheese and tomato pasta bake

I'd like to try something more unusual. Any broccoli fans here? What are your most interesting recipes where broccoli features as a main ingredient?

Thanks, Xiaoxiong. Some nice-looking ideas for side dishes there, plus I had forgotten what a good combination broccoli and salmon or smoked salmon are.
