Abundance of broccolini in the fridge made way for this creation, plus a wonderful way to start off your week with plenty of green!
Did you know broccoli and broccolini are actually members of the cabbage family and like their family members they demonstrate some amazing anticancer effects – particularly in breast cancer (Murray et al, 2005). These anticancer compounds are called ‘glucosinolates’ and in particular one called ‘indole-3-carbinol’ which we find in broccoli has been shown to slow the growth of both breast and prostate cancer cells (in preliminary studies).
Incredible right? And to think you can munch down on this kind of medicine any meal of the day and it tastes awesome!
Ingredients:
3 bunches broccolini, ends trimmed
1/2 large red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
3 asian shallots, finely sliced, white part only
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted
1/2 cup (75g) raw cashews, roughly chopped and lightly toasted
1/4 bunch coriander, leaves picked and stalks finely chopped
Dressing:
1 1/2 teaspoons wasabi paste
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt
Method:
Boil a large pot of boiling water, drop broccoli into the water for 2 minutes, remove from water and refresh in ice cold water then drain. This will help keep it fresh, green and crunchy. Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing. When ready to serve, simply arrange broccolini on a serving platter, sprinkle with chilli spring onion, cashews, sesame seeds and coriander leaves and stalks. Drizzle with dressing and season with sea salt and serve.

2 days ago by brownpapernutrition It’s WHOLE GRAIN WEEK soooooo it’s definitely the right time to give you guys more of my fave slow cooker recipes which incorporate beautiful WHOLE GRAINS with heeeeeeaps of vegetables and legumes and this one is a winner!

1 day ago by brownpapernutrition I often share Jet’s lunchbox on my stories and get such amazing feedback and thanks from parents so if you need inspiration (don’t we all?!?!?) then have a look on my stories reel under LUNCHBOX. This was Jet’s lunchbox today - simple ingredients made delicious and abundant in quality nutrition to keep up with his growing body and insatiable lil dude appetite! I aim to get veggies in at recess, lunch and crunch and sip, the majority of Australian children don’t eat the recommend intake of vegetables, so incorporating them in just small doses is a great way of conquering
6 days ago by brownpapernutrition BERRY BANANA CRUMBLE MUESLI BARS... I think like all parents I’m constantly searching for new, delicious and nourishing treats to pop in the school (and my...) lunchbox and these BERRY BANANA CRUMBLE MUESLI BARS totally hit the spot. They’re a great source of protein with both eggs and quinoa flakes in the mix, the yummiest balance of sweet from fruits and some honey or maple, and rich in fibre and healthy fats from a mix of seeds, coconut flakes and olive oil. I’ve popped some options for ingredient swaps in the recipe if you don’t have these on hand too.
