Ingredients
- 80ml rapeseed oil, plus 1 tsp
- 1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp pink peppercorns, lightly crushed
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
- 230g purple sprouting broccoli, stalks trimmed
- 300g thick greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp runny tahini
Method
- STEP 1
Put 80ml oil and the garlic into a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook for 2 mins or until fragrant and just starting to sizzle. Add all the cumin seeds and peppercorns, and cook over a low-medium heat for 5-6 mins or until the garlic is golden and the spices are aromatic. Remove from the heat and stir in the paprika, chilli and ½ tsp salt. Leave to cool.
- STEP 2
Put the broccoli in a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Toss together with plenty of seasoning. Heat a large, lidded frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli in a single layer. Cook on all sides, turning occasionally, for 4-5 mins or until charred around the edges. Add a splash of water, then cover, reduce the heat, and leave to steam for a few minutes until the water evaporates and the broccoli is tender.
- STEP 3
Meanwhile, combine the yogurt and tahini in a bowl, season lightly, then spread around the base of a serving plate. Top with the broccoli and drizzle generously with the spiced seeds and oil.
