Charred broccoli is having a moment for good reason — it’s simple, delicious, and here it gets textured up with Bhuja’s Nut Mix. Works as a side to grilled protein or on its own.

Ingredients

  • 500g broccolini or broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt and cracked pepper
  • 1 cup Bhuja Nut Mix, roughly chopped
  • 50g parmesan, shaved or grated
  • 2 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Handful fresh parsley, chopped

Method

  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-based pan over high heat until smoking.
  2. Toss broccolini with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Working in batches if needed, char broccolini in the hot pan for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  5. Whisk together remaining olive oil, balsamic, and honey.
  6. Pour dressing over warm broccoli and toss through.
  7. Top with Nut Mix, parmesan shavings, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serving Suggestion

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side to grilled fish, steak, or chicken.
