Broccoli with Potatoes, Aragón Style (Bróquil)

Bróquil is a winter vegetable dish from Aragon that shows just how much two simple ingredients and a good oil can do. The broccoli and potatoes boil together, then go onto the plate with raw olive oil and salt. It is cheap, light and vegan, and here a fresh, green extra virgin olive oil truly takes the lead.

Tips

• Cut the potatoes into smaller cubes so they turn tender at the same time as the broccoli. If you prefer your broccoli crunchier, add it 8 minutes later.
• Always add the oil raw, after cooking, so that it keeps its flavour and aroma.
• Drain the water thoroughly, otherwise the dish will be watery. It is even tastier with garlic oil heated in a frying pan or a pinch of paprika.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dish vegan?

Yes, the recipe is vegan and gluten-free too. Serve it as a light dinner or as a side for baked fish.

Can I make it ahead?

It is best fresh, because the colour and aroma of broccoli soon fade. You can keep leftovers for 2 days in the fridge, then fry them up in a pan.
