Broccoli is God

I have great faith in the ability of broccoli to absolve me from all food and drink sins. I went into the zone at Waitrose today, thinking of which veg to get to make mr broccoli really yummy. Oh, I succeeded. Foodie bliss.

  • Your favourite breed of rice
  • 1 biggish broccoli
  • 1 butternut squash (I attacked it first with the bread knife, chopping it roughly because its so damn hard)
  • 1/2 bulb garlic
  • Red onion, also attacked with bread knife
Glug some decent olive oil over the veg (but not mr broccoli), and chuck it into a medium/high heat oven for about 45 mins. If you leave some of the outer dry bits on the red onion and break it apart a bit, the outer bits come out like chips, to be devoured immediately as they come out of the oven.

Take the veg out, chop it and mixed it all together while separately steaming the broccoli and boiling the rice.

Add 3 sprigs of fresh marjoram to the olive oil reserves in the veg pan, turn up the heat a bit and caramelize the marjoram.

Mix it all together and eat too much because it tastes so damn good.
