Fricassee of Purple Sprouting Broccoli

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 stems PSB leaves split from florets and both reserved
  • 40 g butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 bulb shallots quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed with the side of your knife and chopped roughly
  • 50 g shredded fennel
  • Pinch salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoon vegan white wine
  • 110 g vegan cream
  • 55 g water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Bring a medium pot of water to the boil. Blanch the stems of PSB in the boiling water for 2 minutes max. Transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking. Set aside.
  • In large deep frying pan over medium heat, add the butter and the olive oil. Bring to temperature until the butter is melted. Add the shallots and fry for a minute or two until turning translucent. Add the garlic and fennel. Season. Cook for a further two minutes, stirring regularly, until the fennel starts to turn translucent.
  • Add the white wine and cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated (a few minutes). Add the cream, water and the PSB stems and leaves. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 3-5 minutes until the PSB is cooked through.
  • Once the PSB is cooked but still nice and bright in colour, turn off the heat, add the lemon juice and stir through the oregano.
  • Check for seasoning and then serve with either fresh pasta or boiled new potatoes.
