Our Bimi® broccoli stole the show on the phenomenal M6 broadcast! On Monday 25 March at 6:30pm, more than 1.4 million viewers, as always, watched the recipe of the day. This time, it was our Bimi® broccoli that wowed France.
The “king of broccoli” inspires foodies
Bimi® broccoli has everything going for it. It can be eaten whole without being peeled. Its slender size means it cooks quickly and is highly decorative on a plate. When nibbled, its crisp stem is soft, with a slightly sweet hazelnut flavor. And as for healthiness, it is full of fibers, proteins, folic acid and vitamins A and C.
The recipe
Bimi® + risotto + pistou = sure success. To naturally bring out the best of its flavors, Bimi® broccoli is simply pan-fried over high heat, in olive oil. It stays slightly crispy, in contrast to the soft and moist risotto.
The dish is given a twist with a pistou of mint and rocket salad rather than basil.
