Instructions
- Add half the oil oil, garlic and the chile to a pot over medium heat until garlic starts turning golden brown. Garlic and chile burn very quickly so as soon as they start changing colour, pour the mix into a cool container to stop the cooking.
- Blanch broccoli for 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water, then plunge into ice cold water to stop it from cooking.
- Leave broccoli to dry completely, and when dry put in a bowl and season the broccoli with remaining olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat a ridged griddle pan over high heat and grill the broccoli in batches making sure to turn the florets halfway through so all sided get char marks.
- Transfer the broccoli to a bowl, pour the garlic and chili mix and a dash of lemon juice (if using). Adjust seasoning, add in lemon wedges (if using) and serve.
Notes
- Adapted from Ottolenghi.
- Cut broccoli into even-sized florets so they cook evenly at the same rate. If sizes vary then bear in mind that large broccoli florets will take longer to cook than smaller ones.
- Cooking smallish florets means that the inside and outside cook evenly through.
- For ease, you might want to consider using a grill basket which makes it easier to handle and cook the veggies. Alternatively, you can grill the veggies in a large loose aluminum foil packet.
- You might want to make some with less charring depending on your guests or family's preference.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3-4 days.
- If you replace the coconut oil with a no-calorie cooking spray, there are zero WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving.
