finely sliced  1 tbsp apple cider vinegar  4 tbsp maple syrup  1 tbsp light soy sauce  4 tbsp apple juice  1 tbsp wholegrain mustard  Large handful of coriander leaves, roughly chopped, plus extra to garnish

1Heat a large griddle pan over a medium heat, brush with oil and arrange the Tenderstem across the base. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and allow to char for 4 minutes either side or until tender when pierced with a fork. If you prefer your Tenderstem even more tender, add a splash of water to the pan and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside. 2 Melt the butter with the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Bash the chicken and season generously with sea salt and ground black pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and brown on both sides until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside. 3 Add another drop of oil to the pan and add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes. Then pour in the vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, mustard and apple juice and heat until the sauce is bubbling, then reduce until slightly thickened. 4 Stir through the coriander and return the chicken and the Tenderstem to the pan, basting in the sauce. Once both warmed through, transfer them to a warmed plate and pour the sauce over to serve.

Tenderstem was developed in Japan by crossing broccoli and Chinese kale!

Philip had a deadly addiction to sex…

over, his wife wouldn’t be his first choice.

Blissfully unaware of his lack of effort, Karissa threw herself into repairing their marriage and preparing for their baby. It was typical of Karissa, who was always positive.

She’d worked hard to obtain a university degree while working full-time, and had forgiven her husband for his infidelities, even though it had humiliated her.

That October, two months after the affair was exposed, Karissa had other worries. She’d been feeling dizzy, sick and unusually tired, and ended up in hospital for tests. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong and sent her home to rest.

Three days later, on 17 October, Philip was making her a banana smoothie to build up her strength.

Later that day, Philip dialled 911 in a panic.

‘I was out running, and my wife was having a bath, and when I came ho h s in W hen Philip Grandine handed his pregnant wife Karissa a fruit smoothie, it would have seemed like a rather touching gesture.

Philip certainly had a lot of making up to do.

He’d been caught cheating, and as a pastor at the local church, it was scandalous. Karissa had forgiven his seedy liaisons and was hopeful that their first baby would heal the hurt.

But her good nature was clouding her judgement.

Karissa was in more danger than she could’ve imagined.

It was 2011, and Philip, 25, was a pastor at Ennerdale Road Baptist Church in Toronto, Canada.

An upstanding member of the community.

He also worked as a senior nurse in a retirement home –he was an all-round caregiver. He was married to insurance underwriter Anne Karissa, 29, who was known by her middle name and came from the Philippines. After three years of marriage, Karissa was five months pregnant and couldn’t wait to be a mum. But her world had been shaken when she’d discovered that Philip was having an affair with one of his parishioners.

Worse, the woman was a friend of hers. Karissa felt so betrayed.

Philip had to resign over the affair and the couple began marriage counselling. Kindhearted Karissa said she’d forgive him if he promised to end it – but within days, he was back having sex with his mistress in his car.Philip had They were going to be parents

the bath, but she’s under the water and she’s not breathing,’ he cried.

When the operator asked Philip to try and get her out of the tub, there were sounds of splashing water and grunts. ‘I can’t do it,’ he said. ‘She’s too heavy. She’s too slippery.’ When paramedics arrived, they were surprised that he hadn’t even drained the water from the bath, or attempted CPR on Karissa.

Philip had medical training – why hadn’t he tried to save his wife?

Karissa died in hospital, along with her unborn baby. An autopsy revealed that she had the powerful sedative lorazepam, also known as Artivan, in her system. It had never been prescribed to her.

The drug causes drowsiness and dizziness.Why would she have taken it and then had a bath?

Philip was brought in for routine questioning, but despite suspicions, the police didn’t have enough to charge him. It would later be revealed that while he was planning his pregnant wife’s funeral, he was still having sex with his lover. It would also emerge that while his wife was dying in the bath, Philip wasn’t out running as he’d claimed – he was on the phone to his mistress.

The police started their investigation on Philip.

They knew that he’d have access to drugs, including lorazepam, through his work as a nurse.

They also discovered that in the lead up to his wife’s death, Philip had researched the effects of the sedative and had made disturbing internet

searches, including; Would 100mg of Artivan be fatal? Experts concluded that Philip had spiked a banana smoothie with the drug – not enough to make Karissa overdose, but just enough to make her drowsy and very confused.

He’d then carried or encouraged his wife to have a bath, then pushed her head under, or let gravity do the job.

Karissa’s hospital visit before her death was likely down to Philip testing out the dosage he would need.

Six months after Karissa’s death, Philip was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.He was placed on house arrest at his parents’ home as he awaited trial.

In December 2014, Philip pleaded not guilty.

Prosecution said that he had drugged and drowned Karissa so he could watch porn and continue his affair – without any thought for his unborn baby.

An hour before Karissa was discovered, the pornography filter on his computer was taken off.

Philip knew his wife wasn’t going to object.

‘This act of the removal of the filter on its own demonstrates that Grandine had the intent to kill,’ they said.

The jury heard that Philip p he stand.

His defence argued hat Karissa took the edatives herself because he was suicidal over her husband’s affair.

But she was a religious woman and would never have harmed herself or her unborn baby.

They even suggested she may have slipped in a freak accident.

In January last year, Philip Grandineshowed no emotion as he was found guilty of manslaughter of his late wife Karissa.

Superior Court Justice Robert Clark sentenced him to 14 years and eight months in prison, with one month served.

Although it couldn’t be proved beyond doubt that he had planned to kill his wife that night, the judge was in no doubt tha have kille some poi The judge told Karissa was kind and considerate the woman who an affair with he ‘She was belov everyone, except who should cher most - you,’ he sa ‘If you were unhappy, all you to do was leave h He insisted th Philip’s actions h reached a ‘depth depravity that be the imagination of any rightthinking person Meanwhile, Karissa’s sister clutched a photograph of th victim and cried He drugged his wife then let her drown Making of a His wife put a stop to his affair and his porn addiction... so he got rid of her

the ruling, Karissa’s mum, Maria Darvin, said that Philip wasn’t sorry.

‘As a mother, I cannot express the devastation and anguish that was brought about by this terrible act of violence. The horrendous actions of Mr Philip Grandine have cost my daughter and grandchild their lives,’ she said.

Karissa’s loved ones thought their ordeal was over, but they were crushed when Philip’s conviction was thrown out on appeal.

It was decided that the judge made a mistake in answering a juror’s question –it was a legal technicality.

Last year, Philip, now 33, was in court again for his second trial.

His lawyers said that Karissa had taken the drug herself as she was depressed about her husband cheating. But would she have taken anything while pregnant? Again, Philip was found guilty of manslaughter, and this January, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Straight afterwards, he sought a second appeal. Karissa’s family were heartbroken at the continued lack of closure.

‘There’s no rest for the family… this monster gets to play the system again,’ they said outside of court.

In the eyes of the court, Philip killed his pregnant wife because he couldn’t give up his elicit hook-ups or love of pornography.

Karissa had been willing to forgive him and had paid with
