Jamies tender-stem broccoli

During one of Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals he used tender-stem broccoli (purple sprouting broccoli) in a spaghetti dish, I think. Halving the stems to ensure they cook quickly seemed a clever idea to me so I thought I would try it as a standalone vegetable accompaniment. I'm pretty sure that Jamie used sliced chilli as well as garlic, but this is to accompany Spicy lamb meatball potato and onion hotpot which already has a chilli kick so left it out.

The tiny bunch of purple sprouting broccoli seemed expensive at £1.50, but as I was prepping it, it was plain it would easily serve 4 people, so not too expensive after all.

If you are not too keen on really crunchy stems, I would be inclined to blanch the slices broccoli for a few minutes before pan frying it.

Chef's notes

If you prefer your broccoli soft and not crunchy, blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes beforehand
