Tenderstem Broccoli Tossed in Butter with Chestnuts and Pancetta

Tenderstem broccoli tossed in butter with chestnuts, and pancetta is a great alternative to those who are not so keen on Brussels sprouts with their festive feast!

Obviously if you are vegetarian, then omit the lardons.

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

You’ll need:

400g Tenderstem broccoli cut into 2″ strips

50g unsalted butter

75g pancetta lardons

200g chestnuts roughly chopped

Salt and cracked black pepper

What to do:

1. Bring a medium sized pan of salted water to the boil, add the Tenderstem and cook for 30 seconds. Drain, then cool under cold running water and set aside.

2. Heat a medium sized frying pan then add the butter and lardons. Cook until the lardons start to release some fat and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the chestnuts and Tenderstem. Cook for a further 2 minutes, season with salt, plenty of pepper and serve immediately.
