Roasted broccoli with parmesan and pistachios is a great dish for a crowd. The simple dressing has a lovely punch from the Dijon mustard, and the parmesan breadcrumbs add a wonderful crunch and rich cheesy flavour. Beautiful toasted pistachios make this roasted broccoli side dish a bit more special and give a warm, nutty flavour. Tenderstem broccoli is a hybrid of regular broccoli and Chinese kale, which was first introduced in Japan but is now used in recipes in so many different cuisines. Tenderstem is a little higher in calcium, phosphorous and managanese than regular broccoli, and an impressive four times more vitamin A. Tenderstem can be prepared in a variety of ways. It can be simply steamed, roasted in the oven, or even eaten raw. Why not try serving it as a crudité with hummus or tazatziki? Roasted broccoli with Parmesan and pistachio makes a great side dish to serve with roast meat, we love serving it alongside a slow cooked shoulder of lamb for the ultimate Easter lunch.
