The “Wähe” is a super traditional Swiss dish which can be compared to a pie. Pies – savoury or sweet – are very popular throughout Switzerland. This has inspired us to experiment to create a pie that is irresistible in taste and also climate friendly. The result is this wonderful broccoli pie which you can enjoy warm or cold. The key to making this dish climate friendly is, that we used a generous portion of seasonal and local vegetables without wasting anything – we include the stalk of the broccoli. Moreover, we do without cream and cheese, which both leave a bigger CO2 footprint. The omission of cream and cheese is compensated by the delicate freshness of the lemon as well as the roasted almond slivers emphasising the unique taste of the broccoli.
