In these pictures, I have used long-stemmed broccoli. ‘What is long stem broccoli’? I hear you ask.

Well, long-stemmed or long stalk broccoli is a variety of broccoli that is otherwise known as Broccolini or Broccolette. It is a long stem vegetable, tenderer than normal broccoli.

It is also known as tenderstem broccoli and broccoletti. We think it just tastes better.

You can see that we eat the stems which can be quite juicy, certainly more so than the stem of normal broccoli. Broccolini is actually a cross between kale and broccoli.

My kids used to call these ‘boompjes’ which means ‘little trees’ in Dutch.

It was one of the only green vegetables they would eat, funnily enough. I would sauté them in a bit of butter and salt which I suppose did the trick.
