Recipe: Cooking broccoli

1 Clean the broccoli by removing the leaves, then run clear water over it or you can also soak it for 2 minutes in water with a hint of vinegar in case of unwanted little creatures.

2 Bring plenty of well-salted water to the boil, then plunge your broccoli and test the cooking with a needle, which should go in without resistance.

3 You can also cook your broccoli steamed, though it will lose a little colour this way.

4 You can serve it lukewarm with a drizzle of olive oil, really very good, but also as a gratin with parmesan, as fritters, as a purée, etc.
