Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

Garlic, pepper, oil, yeast. Florets are roasted after being tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Broccoli Cilantro Walnut Pesto Salad

2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup diced tomato,  
1 cup diced baby cucumber,
1/4 cup sliced leeks
Dressing: 1 cup fresh parsley + 1/4 cup walnuts + 2 tbsp oil/water
1/4 cup yeast

Broccoli Roasted

2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
Salt and Black pepper
Zest of half a lemon
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

180C Florets in baking tray. Drizzle with vegetable broth, scatter with garlic, salt and pepper.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tips of the florets are slightly browned. The broccoli should be "tender crisp", meaning just cooked through, not overcooked and floppy.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle over the lemon juice.  Scatter lemon zest and yeast

Broccoli Ceviche

garlic, sesame, chili and cumin-seed vinaigrette slicked with good extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. The acid “cooks” the florets a little like ceviche. After an hour, the broccoli softens as if blanched, turning bright emerald, and soaking up all the intense flavors of the dressing.
Add potatoes to turn into a main course.
