Broccoli steaks with charred lemon dressing is a delightful and nutritious recipe that brings out the best in broccoli by roasting it to perfection and drizzling it with a tangy, slightly smoky dressing. This dish is packed with flavor and makes for a fantastic vegetarian main course or a unique side dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the 2 tbsp of almonds until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Once toasted, roughly chop the almonds and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp of ground cumin, 1 tsp of dried coriander, 2 tsp of paprika, and 1 tsp of sesame seeds. Mix well.
- Wash and trim the broccoli. Cut the broccoli head lengthwise to form 1-inch thick ‘steaks’. You should get 2-3 steaks per broccoli head, depending on size.
- Place the broccoli steaks on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle the prepared spice mixture evenly over them.
- Roast the broccoli steaks in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. They should be tender and slightly charred on the edges.
- While the broccoli is roasting, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cut the lemon in half and place it cut side down in the hot skillet. Cook until the lemon halves are charred, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once charred, let the lemon cool slightly before squeezing the juice into a small jar or bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and a pinch of salt. Shake or whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/2 finely chopped red onion. Mix well.
- Place the roasted broccoli steaks on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the charred lemon dressing over the top.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds, parsley and red onion mixture, and 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese over the broccoli steaks.
- Serve your broccoli steaks warm as a main dish or a side. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures!
Tips:
- Ensure your broccoli is dry before seasoning and roasting to get a nice, crispy texture.
- If you don't have a grill, you can char the lemon in a hot skillet instead.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of paprika based on your heat preference.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with cilantro for a different flavor profile.
- Don't skip toasting the almonds and sesame seeds; it enhances their flavor and adds a delicious crunch.
- Serve the broccoli steaks immediately after dressing to maintain their crispy texture.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy broccoli steaks with charred lemon dressing. This dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or as a show-stopping side at your next gathering. The combination of flavors and textures will leave everyone asking for the recipe!
