Method

  1. Add the saffron and 1 tbsp water to a small saucepan set over a medium heat and bubble until half the water has evaporated.

  2. Mix the oil through and heat for around 30 secs – or if using butter, add to the pan, melt and bubble for 30-60 secs until lightly golden. Tip the mixture into a medium bowl to cool slightly.

  3. Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the Tenderstem® broccoli and cook for 2 mins then drain.

  4. Add the crème fraiche to the bowl with the saffron mixture and season with salt and pepper. Add the Tenderstem® broccoli and the butter beans and fold together. Sprinkle with the cayenne pepper or Tabasco if you like.

  5. Great served with your favourite protein, or if you’d prefer to make into a light salad, add two boiled eggs per person.
