Step 1. boil your water
Step 2. go down the garden and decide what you want to eat - in this case my early PSB 'Rudolph'
Step 3. cut your broccoli heads. You can see here that there are plenty of side shoots ready to come on.
Just so fresh and clean this time of year.
Step 4. take back into the kitchen and steam for 5 minutes. This really was the most tender broccoli you could imagine. Taste was out of this world. When you think of the food which is flown here from Argentina and Peru... how about the end of your own garden?
