Boiled Alexanders
- 450g Alexanders stems
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Trim the stems and remove any fibrous skin from the outside (treat similarly to celery). Roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil then add the Alexanders stems. Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender, but still with a little crunch. Drain.
- Toss the Alexanders in butter and season to taste. Serve immediately.
