Notes

Top Tips for cooking Tenderstem Broccoli

Don’t crowd them. Leave space between florets for them to cook properly and evenly.
Cooking time varies according to the thickness of the tenderstem so you may need to adjust times accordingly.
The florets cook faster than the stems. It is best to cook really thick stems for a more even cook but this is down to personal preference.
