Got a sad, down trodden, dry, discoloured bit of broccoli sitting in your fridge? Almost bin-worthy but not quite? Do not despair! This IS the way to see it off in style.
Ingredients (for 1 bowl)
Half a head of broccoli
1 brick of frozen spinach
10g Stilton plus a little extra to garnish
Ground Black pepper
A few tablespoons of stock or cooking water
A small knob of butter
4 or 5 walnuts, crumbled
Method
Cut the broccoli into florets and slice the stem. Chuck into a pan of salted boiling water, with the frozen spinach and cover with a lid. Boil for about 5 mins over a medium heat, until the broccoli is soft (the broccoli should be just a little bit overcooked, so it will break up easily and form a lovely smooth soup).
Place the cooked broccoli and spinach in a blender with 3 or 4 tablespoons of stock or the veg water. Add the butter and Stilton and blend well. Add a little more liquid if it seems too thick. Pour into a bowl and serve immediately alongside slices of toast, garnished with the crumbled walnuts and a little more Stilton.
Prep time 5 mins. Cooking time 5 mins.
