I’m not exactly sure when the purple sprouting broccoli is in season but whenever I see it I get it. This is a very simple pasta dish from Paul Gayler “Pure Vegetarian”. It’s not a vegan book but some of the recipes can be easily adapted. It’s basically cooked orechiette with red onion, sprouting broccoli, chilli flakes, chickpeas, basil, mint and lots of olive oil.
