  Interesting way to cook greens. I added some broad beans with peas which were tasty. Seemed a huge quantity for four people though - but perhaps thats just us.

  I am going to try this but I can't understand why one would boil the other greens (asparagus etc.) in a separate pan when you've already got stock in the other which could steam and cook the veggies in the same pan, so this is what I'll do. Good ideas though.

  Sometimes when I try to do something a bit different with green veg, I wonder why I didn't just prepare them simply but this had an excellent flavour without masking the veggies' own taste. I used broccoli and French beans with the peas which worked well. I DID boil them briefly first - there isn't much stock in the frying pan with the peas and I wasn't sure they would cook through sufficiently if I only steamed them as Woolly suggests. I didn't find them over-cooked - and I loathe mushy veg!

  Lovely! Gives 'boring' veg a nice twist! My OH insists that I make greens in this way. A hit in our household
