Charred Broccoli With Miso & Lemon
/Recipe By Courtney Roulston
Ingredients
2 medium - large broccoli heads
2 lemons
⅓ cup (80 ml) Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp shiro / white miso paste
1 small clove garlic, minced
2 tsp Coles Finest pure Canadian maple syrup
20 g parmesan cheese, freshly grated from a block, plus extra to serve
1 tbsp whole roast almonds, finely chopped
Method
Trim the outer tough parts from the broccoli stalks then cut each broccoli into 6 cutlets. Place the broccoli wedges in boiling water for 1 minute.
Place the broccoli on the grill with 30 mls of oil and season with sea salt.
Cut one of the lemons into 2 mm rounds and place on the grill for 3 - 4 minutes or until the lemon is caramelised and the broccoli has some nice char marks on the outside.
Meanwhile, whisk the miso paste, garlic, maple syrup, lemon juice, remaining olive oil and parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Once the broccoli and lemon are cooked, toss them through the dressing while they are still hot to help the dressing soak in.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving plate and top with the roasted almonds and a little extra parmesan cheese.
