Charred Tenderstem Broccoli

Tenderstem broccoli has to be one of our all-time favourite vegetables. It is super versatile and goes with pretty much anything. Charring it on the BBQ brings out a whole world of new flavour and texture that goes perfectly with grilled meats or fish.

Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 200g Tenderstem Broccoli
• 1 tsp Olive Oil
• Maldon Sea Salt

Method:

1. Coat the broccoli in the olive oil and place the stems onto the BBQ.
2. Give them a couple of minutes on each side until they have a nice char and the florets are starting to wilt.
3. Remove the stems, season with the Maldon sea salt and wrap them in a foil parcel so they can steam until you are ready to serve.

Tips & Tricks

Tricks:

• If the stems are particularly chunky, you may want to slice down them to ensure they cook evenly.
• You can eat them like this or use them as part of a salad. Try adding parmesan shavings, crispy breadcrumbs and a Caesar dressing OR toss them with a lemon, honey & mustard dressing.
• You could do this with a whole host of different vegetables: Cauliflower, Courgettes, Peppers, Aubergine…

Tips:

• Keep them warm in your foil parcel on a part of your BBQ that has less direct heat.
