Garlic-Sesame Purple Sprouting Broccoli

This was my first time cooking purple sprouting broccoli (it came in my CSA box) and it turned out delicious. You can eat the entire vegetable, I just trimmed the ends of the thicker stalks and some of the leaves that were a bit wilted. Great healthy spring vegetable!
