Richard Buckley’s Tenderstem, Horseradish, Pink Lady Apple and Toasted Hazelnut Salad

Richard Buckley’s Tenderstem, Horseradish, Pink Lady Apple and Toasted Hazelnut Salad

By TenderstemPublished on 17 January 2022Richard Buckley, head chef at award-winning vegetarian restaurant Demuths, says: "This recipe is really quick and a great example of vegetables as comfort food - it's sweet, satisfying and tangy. Tenderstem works perfectly because it's got all the depth of flavour of broccoli but a lovely, asparagus-like juiciness. Try to use Pink Lady apples as their juicy sweetness and floral aroma will raise this to another level. This will make a great starter or simple double the quantities for a delicious main course. Cooking the Tenderstem this quickly locks in the flavour and emphasises its natural, succulent freshness."

Ingredients

  • 25 g of creamed horseradish sauce

  • 1 pink lady apple
  • 16 sticks of tenderstem broccoli
  • 1 pinch of sea salt

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the yoghurt, horseradish sauce and 1 tbls of rapeseed oil in a bowl and whisk to combine.
