Roast Chicken And Broccoli Anti-Salad For a healthy eating blog you might think that's a pretty big omission. But here's the thing.... I'm not actually a massive salad fan. I've never been totally in love with absolutely loads of raw veggies on one plate and you can forget iceberg lettuce, that won't ever be appearing on the Pantry! However I do make a version of what I consider a 'salad'. It's got some of the elements you might expect: salad leaves (though no iceberg), nuts and seeds, a grain to make it filling and a dressing to bring the flavours together. Serves : 2 People As A Main, 4 As A Starter/Small Dish Prep Time : 20 Minutes Cook Time : 25 Minutes Ingredients Salad: •                    1 large head of broccoli - florets and stems roughly chopped •                    2 tablespoons olive oil •                    4 cloves garlic minced or grated •                    good handful of chopped fresh parley •       

The Only Broccoli Recipe You’ll Ever Need Let me just start by saying that I love broccoli. I have always loved broccoli, ever since I was a little kid who had no business thinking broccoli was something delicious. It’s one of those veggies that’s so good raw (dipped in something yummy or on its own), steamed with lemon, tossed in a stir-fry, folded into fettuccini Alfredo – the options really are endless. But when I tried this recipe inspired by Paleo Grubs, I knew I’d found the broccoli side dish recipe that I’d be using from here on out. It only takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish and packs so much flavor. It might even be good enough to convince your little ones to eat broccoli! Ingredient ·        2 heads of broccoli ·        3 tablespoons olive oil ·        4 large cloves of garlic, minced ·        1/2 teaspoon pepper ·        1 teaspoon Kosher salt ·        1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice ·        Red pepper flakes, to taste
