By: Laurence Guy

This is a lovely way to eat purple sprouting broccoli and if you haven’t got any new style potatoes, try using main crops ones but remember not to over-cook.

  • Start by washing the potatoes and cutting into even thumb sized pieces. Boil in rapidly boiling salted water for 7-8 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Trim the purple sprouting and plunge into boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and put in ice cold water to stop them from cooking further.
  • Heat a good glug of olive oil in a pan on a medium heat and add the potatotes to colour for 4-5 minutes.
  • Finely slice 2 cloves garlic and add to the pan along with the purple sprouting and cook for a couple of minutes. Transfer to serving bowl.
  • Season with juice of one lemon, a good pinch of seas salt flakes and cracked black pepper. Stir well to let the flavours get to know one another. Serve with a little fresh grated parmesan
