}}

During one of Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals he used tender-stem [[Broccoli|broccoli]] ([[Purple sprouting broccoli|purple sprouting broccoli]]) in a [[Spaghetti|spaghetti]] dish, I think. Halving the stems to ensure they cook quickly seemed a clever idea to me so I thought I would try it as a standalone [[Vegetable|vegetable]] [[Accompaniment|accompaniment]]. I'm pretty sure that Jamie used sliced [[Chilli|chilli]] as well as garlic, but this is to accompany [[Spicy lamb meatball potato and onion hotpot]] which already has a chilli kick so left it out.

The tiny bunch of [[Purple sprouting broccoli|purple sprouting broccoli]] seemed expensive at £1.50, but as I was prepping it, it was plain it would easily serve 4 people, so not too expensive after all.

If you are not too keen on really crunchy stems, I would be inclined to [[Blanch|blanch]] the slices [[Broccoli|broccoli]] for a few minutes before pan [[Frying|frying]] it.
