Broccoli Leaf
Broccoli leaf (also known to Italians as spigariello) is the NEW KALE! Broccoli leaf is a great stand-in for chard and kale. It cooks up faster and is pleasantly bitter with a bit of sweetness (similar to rapini). Great sautéed with garlic and red pepper flakes. Easy! Fold into beans OR pasta dishes. To make broccoli leaf chips: Toss the leaves with a little olive oil and sea salt and roast in a 375 degree oven until they start to crisp. Broccoli leaf is a great stand-in for chard and kale.
