I was approached by Tenderstem® to get creative with the product to create a “weird recipe”, in exchange for a supermarket gift voucher, to pay for the recipe ingredients.

What is Tenderstem®?

Using plant-breeding techniques, Tenderstem® is a combination of broccoli and Chinese kale. Tenderstem® is sweet but you guessed it, tender.

Unlike broccoli, you can eat the whole vegetable – including the stem!

Tenderstem® can be microwaved, boiled, stir fried, steamed, deep fried or grilled – and can even be eaten raw. Deciding what “weird recipe” I should make was a tough choice, but I’m pleased with what I made. I know it sounds odd, but it’s delicious!
