Any broccolli leaf recipes?

Sharra

We've got some purple sprouting broccoli plants in the garden growing like mad. They haven't started sprouting yet but we are starting to eat the leafy bits now else we will never get through it all.
Has anyone got any yummy ways of cooking it?
We steamed it earlier in the week, it was nice, but very strong tasting so I couldn't eat much of it.
Thanks

Hi

How about putting a cheesy or cream sauce over the steamed leaves. It will mellow the taste and make a change.

I have mine with pasta and put the purple sprouting in with the pasta for the last 5 mins, then add Dolcelatte cheese once it's drained.

I don't think it's strong tasting, or maybe the cheese is stronger lol

Cook quickly in boiling water, drain then heat up some olive oil, add a 1 or two chopped cloves of garlic, a little salt and then saute your greens inthis before the garlic turns brown. Great with pasta or stuffed intoi french bread. Be generous withthe oil! Also likes a sprinkling of chilli.
