Burgundy
Deep purple sprouting broccoli that's even more beautiful than the standard purple. Later-maturing, so it fills the gap in March and April when the garden is waking up but not yet productive. The colour holds through cooking better than you'd expect.

Purple broccoli with hollandaise
Steam the purple spears until just tender, serve with a classic hollandaise — butter, egg yolks, lemon juice, whisked over heat until thick and glossy. The purple against the golden sauce is stunning. Spring luxury.
