- 1 bunch asparagus 8 stalks, less is fine
- 1 small head broccoli
- 4 slices bacon diced
- 40 grams almonds roughly chopped, approx 35 almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon of pepper
Cut the broccoli into small florets and the asparagus into chunks. Put the vegetables in a food processor and give it two quick blitzes to finely chop it. If you don’t have a processor, you can cut these by hand. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon ad fry until just crispy. Toss in the green vegetables and chopped almonds. Drizzle with olive oil salt and pepper and stir thoroughly. Fry for 3 – 5 minutes until the bacon is cooked and the veg has started to go bright green (not soggy, you want the texture!)Serve immediately, or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days and have with other meals.
