This Broccoli Mash recipe is a nod to my British friends. It’s one of those comfort thing foods that men seem to love and I have to think that the original came from leftover potato and veg from Sunday Lunch. It’s yummy, definitely comfort food and will go with just about anything. Start from scratch or use your leftover veg to create this great ‘renewed’ side dish.
Tip : Thid dish will work wonderfully well with leftover mash, peas and broccoli, just combine, add a bit of butter, reheat gently and the side dish is done.
