Homegrown Broccoli
This year I have successfully grown purple sprouting broccoli following the Top Veg growing advice. We are currently harvesting the broccoli on a daily basis and trying new and exciting ways to serve this delicious vegetable.
Last night we served the lightly steamed purple sprouting broccoli with pine nuts drizzled in melted butter and balsamic vinegar. Delicious!
