Tenderstem Detox Lunch

A Ten Minute Lunch with Tenderstem:

Now, all that wine tasting has left me feeling in need of some healthy food.  And, on my return from Angers, there was a lovely box of goodies waiting for me from Tenderstem Broccoli.  So, I’ve made a tasty, quick and simple lunch dish using that, some smoked mackerel from Delish Fish and a cheat packet of mixed grains from Merchant Gourmet.  The aim was to produce a meal within 10 minutes and Tenderstem Broccoli is ideal for that.

Here’s the recipe – frighteningly simple!  If you don’t want to use packet mixed grains, this dish would work fine with precooked quinoa, a can of chickpeas or mixed beans or even couscous.
