This week we are talking about broccolini,
The vegetable which is in season now, so its cheap as chips
The vegetable that we planted a while ago and we keep on cutting the stems and it keeps on giving!
The vegetable that is rich in iron and vitamins
The vegetable that’s sweet, crunchy and full of flavour
This recipe is so simple but absolutely delicious ! It took me 15 mins to make from scratch and it was a great hit with both of my girls .
