ingredients

  • 3 heads broccoli, cut lengthways into quarters or sixths
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup toasted almond, roughly crushed
  • 1/3 cup shallots or spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 240C and line a tray with baking paper.

  • Step 2

    Place the broccoli onto the baking tray, drizzle with the olive oil, season well with salt, pepper and gently toss.

  • Step 3

    Roast for 15 minutes until lightly charred and the stalk softened.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, combine the tahini sauce ingredients with ¼ cup or so of water to make it a thick pouring consistency.

  • Step 5

    Transfer the cooked broccoli to a platter, squeeze over some lemon and spoon over the sauce, making sure it hits all the parts of the broccoli so the nuts and herbs all stick to it!

  • Step 6

    Scatter over the almonds, shallots, sesame seeds and another squeeze of lemon if you please!
