  • Cavalo Nero sprouts

    My Cavalo Nero is just beginning to bolt. Can I eat the shoots, bit like purple sprouting broccoli?

    Was thinking of putting them in pasta, with anchovy oil and chilli.

    You can eat all parts of a brassica (maybe not the roots!!)

        I think the shoots are nicer than the leaves!

              ooh, love stir fry!
              My latest craze is kimchi, so if all else fails, ferment it

                  We had some tonight, just steamed. They were excellent: sweet, nutty, very tender. Better than purple sprouting broccoli I reckon.
