Ingredients
- 1oz/28g basil leaves
- 3 Tablespoons/45ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small clove of garlic
- Zest of ½ a lime
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 head broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets and top part of stems thinly sliced
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Blanch the basil leaves in the boiling water for a few seconds. Quickly remove the basil and place in the ice bath to cool. Remove basil from water and squeeze gently to remove excess water.
- Roughly chop the basil and put it in a small food processor. Add the olive oil, garlic, lime zest and salt and pulse until smooth.
- Heat your grill and lightly grease a grill basket or grill pan if cooking indoors.
- Rinse broccoli and place in a large bowl. Add the basil mixture and toss well to coat.
- Place grill basket on grill and add broccoli or place broccoli directly on grill pan in a single layer (you may need to cook the broccoli in 2 batches). Grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and lightly browned at the edges (about 8-10 minutes).
- Transfer to a platter, serve warm.
