Still making some great discoveries with the vegetable box membership… I am so impressed by that as I was not expecting so many things to discover as I am really fond of cooking and I like to try new things (before the membership). Last week, I have two things that surprised me.

The first one was the salsify, I had a vague memory from my childhood of some white sticks but I couldn’t remind the taste and for sure it was from a can. So, I was so surprised to have some in the box: black thin kind of tube with weird roots at the end … (not really appealing at first)

The second one was the broccoli, it was not the usual big green broccoli, the one that I get were looking more like flowers than broccoli. I decided to use the top part of the stir-fry and use the leftover for making some delicious pesto.

In this stir-fry, I also decided to have some been sprout, the whole combination was really delicious.

• SERVE:

What do you need?

How to make a Stir fry with salsify, broccoli, courgette, and beansprout on a layer of wild rice?

• Start by washing carefully all the vegetables
• Peel the salsify and slice it

As the salsify is quite sticky when peeling it, it is better to peel it under running water

• Slice the courgettes into small cubes or spiralise it for making various shape in the stir fry
• Depend on the size of the broccoli, if it is a big one, slice it if it is rather small, leave the florets as they are
• Peel the onion and chop it
• Cook the rice as indicated on the packaging

Usually 20/30 minutes for wild rice

• Heat the wok with the oil
• When the wok is hot, through away the salsify and stir it for 3 minutes at medium heat
• Then add the chopped onion and the broccoli, stir it for 3 minutes
• Add the courgette and the beansprout and stir it for an additional 2 minutes
• Add the soya sauce and stir it quickly
• In a plate, add a layer of the cooked wild rice and then add the stir fry
• Sparkle roasted sesame seeds on top

For roasting sesame seed, just heat the seeds in a pan without oil at medium heat for a couple of minutes. Be careful, it can burn really quickly
