Purple Sprouting Broccoli With Garlic Sesame Recipes

Steps:

• Trim off any hard ends from the broccoli stalks as well as any very coarse leaves. Bring a large quantity of salted water to the boil in a very large saucepan and plunge in the broccoli. With the lid on, quickly bring the water back to the boil, then remove the lid and briskly simmer the broccoli for about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, heat both oils in the pan over a medium heat. Fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the slices are light golden. Throw in the broccoli and fry it for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the stalks are piping hot and imbued with the garlicky oil.
• Serve immediately with the sesame seeds sprinkled over the top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Trim any woody ends from the broccoli - if any has wider stalks than the rest, split them along their length. Put the broccoli in a roasting tin large enough that it will fit in a single layer and add the olive oil, chilli and season well. Toss with your hands, then roast for 15 mins, turning the broccoli over halfway through. It should be tender and slightly charred.
• Meanwhile, chop the preserved lemon (fresh and rind) and stir it into the yogurt with the garlic and the juice from the lemon jar.
• To serve, lay the cooked broccoli on a platter, or on individual plates, scatter the feta on top, spoon over the yogurt dressing and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180 fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. Mix together 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, the soy, ginger, garlic and honey. Put the sweet potato wedges, skin and all, into a glass bowl with the lime wedges. Cover with cling film and microwave on high for 12-14 mins until completely soft.
• Meanwhile, spread the broccoli and salmon out on the baking tray. Spoon over the marinade and season. Roast in the oven for 10-12 mins, then sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
• Remove the lime wedges and roughly mash the sweet potato using a fork. Mix in the remaining sesame oil, the chilli and some seasoning. Divide between plates, along with the salmon and broccoli.
