This is a brilliantly quick meal which could work for lunch or dinner. Its a good way to get your daily quota of broccoli, a superfood that I recommend eating every day!
Ingredients:
1 head of broccoli, cut into florets (save the stalk for stock) or approx 280g sprouting broccoli, cut into 2 inch segments
1 handful of cashews
2 tsp coconut oil for frying
1-2 tsp chillie flakes (depending on how much heat you like)
Sauce:
1 clove garlic, pureed
1 tsp miso paste
2 tbsp tamari sauce (or regular soy sauce if not glutenfree)
1 tsp raw honey or coconut sugar for a vegan option
1 tsp sesame oil
Method:
Lightly steam the broccoli until almost cooked but still with a bit of bite. Whilst the broccoli is cooking, prepare your sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Heat 2 tsp coconut oil in a frying pan and when hot, add the cashews. Toast them for a few minutes until they start to go brown, then add the broccoli and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Take the pan off the heat and stir a few teaspoons of the sauce into the broccoli. Eat on its own, with rice/quinoa or as a vegetable accompaniment to a meal.
This is the best broccoli recipe ever! Absolutely delicious – now I CAN eat broccolis – thank you for sharing this.
I cooked this last evening, it was very easy and I used a combination of shredded cabbage and broccoli. dressing was tasty and nuts added that extra something. my daughter who is 26 asked for the recipe!
