Pan-fried Tenderstem Broccoli with Toasted Mixed Seeds

You will need:

• 200g Tenderstem Broccoli

• 20g toasted mixed seeds ( I used a mix of pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and flaxseed)

• 10g crispy fried onion

• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp light soy sauce

How to:

1. Wash the Tenderstem Broccoli and pat dry it

2. Heat the sesame oil in a pan

3. Add the Broccoli

4. Fry at medium temperature for 4-5 minutes

5. Add the Soy sauce and continue frying for another 3-4 minutes

6. Remove the pan from the stove

7. Place the Pan-fried broccoli on your plate of choice

8. Sprinkle the toasted seeds and crispy fried onions on top

9. Enjoy!

• If you're using raw seeds, put them in a frying pan on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, making sure to stir every once in a while.

• You can replace the sesame oil with vegetable, sunflower, rapeseed, or olive oil

• You can use any mix of toasted seeds you have available, but I do recommend the mix contains at least the pumpkin and sesame seeds as they do pair very well with the flavour of the pan-fried Tenderstem Broccoli.

• Ideally, you would use a Cast Iron Skillet, but any non-stick pan which you have available will do the job.
