Making broccoli delicious!

HOW CAN YOU HATE BROCCOLI?

Just cook it right and give it some friends and it will love you and treat you right too :)

This can be really delicious as a side dish (especially to crispy skinned salmon) or even as a [vegetarian] meal of it's own. I think the colours of a meal are quite important, and I really like the deep red of the cranberries with the bright green of the broccoli and the pure white of the feta. And of course the flavours are important too, I really like this combination. You have a bit of sweetness, a bit of saltiness, some nuttiness and earthiness. And then of course the mix of textures.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, wishing you all a happy, healthy and exciting 2016! x

Ingredients:

500g of broccoli

2tsp of the oil that comes with the feta

150g of mushrooms

18g of dried cranberries

18g sunflower seeds

50g of feta cheese.

How to:

1. Start by chopping up the broccoli into manageable florets, removing any little leaves and the excess stalk. Then boil it to your preference, I usually boil for about 7 to 9 minutes.

2. While that's cooking, chop the mushrooms into quarters and fry in the two tsps of feta oil. Once they've browned nicely, pop them into a bowl.

3. Then lightly heat up the cranberries and sunflower seeds in the same pan with any residue oil and juice. This will make the cranberries sweeter and accentuate the nuttiness in the sunflower seeds.

4.Once you've drained your broccoli, you can mix it in with the mushrooms then add your feta cheese, crumbling it into smaller chunks.

5. And finally, pour in the cranberries and sunflower seeds. Toss all the ingredients together and serve immediately!
