Unsure of what to do with the cavolo nero in your veg box? Sure, you could steam it and serve it up as a side dish, or you could do something much more exciting - put it into a brownie recipe! It adds lots of moistness and a touch of bitterness to help balance out the sweetness - we really do recommend trying it!
