At this time of year, it’s easy to become tired of eating roasted root vegetables. In our- post Christmas search of something fresher, greener and lighter, purple sprouting broccoli is a welcome taster of what Spring is to deliver.
Purple sprouting broccoli is no longer exclusive home growers and farmer’s markets; I’ve recently bought the British-grown vegetable from Aldi. With year- long seasonality in the UK, availability is good and the price is moderate for what’s fast becoming a fashionable vegetable.

Generous handful of black kale (calvoro nero)
