Beautiful cavolo shoots in our no potato and veggie lover boxes this week! These are the almost flowering part of our cavolo plants - what a seasonal treat :)
As the first warming rays of spring wake the fields from their winter slumber, the cavolo nero plant is moving into its second year. Like most plants that have survived a winter, cavolo nero is eager to set
flower and produce seeds. With this vigorous new growth comes a plethora of tender and tasty shoots that for a brief moment in time are ripe for the picking. Over a four week period numerous
cavolo shoots can be gathered up and those that get missed… provide a welcome supply of nectar for the farms waking bees. Cavolo shoots treated simply or dressed up, quite simply taste great and provide variety when it is most needed for a diverse culinary world.

Purple sprouting in all the boxes this week 🌱💚

Purple sprouting broccoli is the star of the show through the springtime hungry gap and brings with it a burst of optimism for warmer days and that spring time feel.

This weeks recipe is an old favourite - grilled purple sprouting with hollandaise sauce! I promise you it is super easy :)

To grow it you need to plan in advance and get your plants off to a good start the summer before - it's a hungry brassica so always needs a new place to grow.

When cooking we like to keep things simple, lemon, chili flakes, olive oil, hollandaise or aioli - try with eggs and sourdough for a more substantial lunch.
