Cavalo Nero sprouts

[hamsterqueen]

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!!)

We do and all our kales - until they get infested with aphids

I think the shoots are nicer than the leaves!

Ta! That’ll make it last a lot longer.
If we are confined to barracks, the more food the merrier!

I like them in stir fry

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.

I think they're lovely - having some tomorrow
