|To create this recipe we partnered with Healthy Living Platform a Brixton organization that empowers local people to choose healthy and sustainable lifestyles by giving practical training education information and support on topics such as nutrition cooking food growing health and wellbeing. Each week our surplus veg goes to the Platform to go into the free vegetarian meals it supplies to people in the local community who might be struggling. To celebrate Local Greens 10th birthday Platform chefs Malika Maza and Alison Mcnaught crafted this dish. It is inspired by the sunny day on which they were working together and had lots of broccoli greens and potatoes to use. This is an English summer dish with a French twist as both chefs have a background of cooking in France. They wanted to show off the simplicity of the ingredients and felt this dish would be easy to execute on a budget while also impressing friends and family. |broccoli potatoes|3 medium potatoes 1 medium broccoli head cut into florets (or approximately 500g of Tenderstem broccoli)3 garlic gloves crushed1 onion diced3 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon corn flour 100 millilitres dairy or plant based milk50 grams cheddar cheese or dairy-free optionA few sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste |1.
