Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Trim the ends from the Tenderstem®. Halve any thicker stems. Trim the sprout tops. Finely shred the leaves, discarding any thick stems.

  • 2.

    Peel 2 black garlic cloves and mash them till smooth with the back of a knife. Pop in a bowl. Zest and juice the lemon into the bowl. Stir in 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 3.

    Drain the chickpeas and rinse with cold water. Finely chop the mint leaves.

  • 4.

    Place a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the Tenderstem®. Cook for 5-6 mins, turning every few mins till the broccoli is lightly charred. Lift out of the pan using tongs, and pop onto a plate.

  • 5.

    Tip the chickpeas into the pan and toss for 1-2 mins. Add in the sprout tops with 2 tbsp water and cook for 3 mins till the sprout tops have wilted. Add 1 tsp smoked paprika and toss. Pour in half the black garlic dressing and fold through.

  • 6.

    Spoon the sprout tops and chickpeas onto a couple of plates. Divide the Tenderstem® between the plates. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and finish with chopped mint leaves to serve.

  • Tip

    Black garlic
    We have sent you a bulb of black garlic. You can add a clove or two more to your dressing (it's deliciously sweet) or it will keep in the fridge in the paper bag for up to one month. Smash a few cloves and mix with miso, ginger, chilli and lime and toss through some stir fried veggie noodles.
