Broccoli Steaks with Tomato Butter
You won't be making any mis-steaks on this Meatless Monday with this recipe!What's for dinner? Broccoli Steaks with Tomato Butter!
Broccoli is one of the most nutrient dense vegetables out there with high amounts of vitamin A, C, E, K, B, potassium, selenium, potassium, magnesium and folic acid. It is one super packed veg!
We've done our fair share of veggie "steaks", from portobello to our favourite cauliflower with lemon and capers, but this broccoli spin on a veggie steak did not disappoint! The tomato "butter" base is creamy and full of roasted garlic flavour.
