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.
