In today’s blog post Abi shares her sweet and sour broccoli recipe – yum!
We recently changed our diet and started cutting down on the amount of meat we consume. We had already pretty much cut out red meat (we only eat this rarely) and now we eat chicken or fish once or twice a week, the rest of the week we are vegetarian, but our diet is flexible and we’re not perfect, we do indulge every now and again, our overall aim is to achieve a balanced, healthy diet.
I am constantly looking for creative vegetarian recipes. After reading online that many vegetarians replace chicken with cauliflower and broccoli to make dishes like cauliflower buffalo wings (huh!), I decided to get a bit creative and try sweet and sour broccoli.
We love sweet and sour chicken and I have been making a very simple version of this at home for years, so I simply used this tried and tested recipe but replaced the chicken with broccoli, and oh boy, it was a hit! We absolutely loved it, so much so that I had to make it again to make sure it wasn’t a fluke and it was just as good the second time around. It was delicious and honestly (it may be hard to believe) it tastes just like the chicken version.
I loved this dish so much that I decided to share the recipe. If you’re looking for an easy and delicious way to introduce more vegetables into your diet, then I highly recommend you try this recipe. If you do try it, please let me know what you think.
Happy cooking! (and eating!)
