Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 1 head of broccoli (around 375g), florets trimmed and the stalk roughly chopped
- 75 g roasted salted peanuts
- 1 garlic clove roughly chopped
- 1 red chilli (deseeded if you like), finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 50 ml cold-pressed rapeseed oil plus 1 tbsp
- 1 red onion thickly sliced
- 2 c. à soupe garlic mayonnaise
- 2 thick slabs of focaccia or 2 ciabatta rolls
- 40 g rocket or watercress
- 4 c. à soupe crispy onions
Method
- 1.Tip the broccoli stalks into a saucepan, just cover with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain, reserving the liquid, then tip into a food processor along with most of the peanuts, garlic, chilli, 1 tbsp lime juice and the 50ml rapeseed oil. Blitz until finely chopped, adding a splash of the cooking liquid if needed.
- 2.Add the remaining peanuts and pulse a few times until there is still texture in the sauce. Season to taste, adding more lime juice if needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days.
- 3.Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the broccoli florets and the red onion into the roasting tin with the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Toss together with some seasoning and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins, shuffling the contents of the pan around once or twice, until the broccoli is charred at the edges. Remove and set aside.
- 4.Spread the mayonnaise over the base of the focaccia or rolls. Top with the roasted broccoli and onions, spoon over some of the broccoli peanut sauce, top with a handful of rocket and sprinkle over the crispy onions. Add the top half of the bread, squish together and enjoy.
