Spiced broccoli

Enjoy this broccoli as a side dish. Put aside time at the weekend to make it, then enjoy later in the week using our recipe ideas below

Cut the florets off the heads of broccoli into bite-sized pieces, then trim and finely chop the stems. Tip into a colander or metal steamer and set over a pan of simmering water. Cover and steam for 10-12 mins until a sharp knife just about pierces the broccoli. Leave to steam-dry, then tip into a large airtight container and drizzle over the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon zest and season well. Shake gently to combine then set aside in the fridge until needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days.Use this to make our lemon orzo with trout, spiced broccoli & peperonata, or our roasted lemony broccoli & mascarpone flatbreads.
