Method
step 1
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Cook the broccoli for 2 minutes until tender, drain well and tip into a bowl with the olive oil and lemon juice. Cool completely.
step 2
To make the dressing, fry the garlic with the olive oil in a pan for 2 minutes. Put the rest of the dressing ingredients into a blender along with the fried garlic and oil, and season generously. Whizz until completely smooth, adding 1-2 tbsp of water if it’s a little thick.
step 3
To finish, put the broccoli on a serving plate and drizzle generously with the dressing and a splash of olive oil followed by the chopped almonds.
