You’ll love our easy charred tenderstem broccoli with almonds recipe because it’s simple yet packed with flavour. Tenderstem broccoli is sautéed in Little Olive Oil's extra virgin olive oil until lightly blistered, then finished with toasted almonds and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve as a vegetarian side dish or add to warm grain bowls for a spring meal.
Koroneiki Superior is the best extra virgin olive oil for this recipe. Its bold, peppery character stands up beautifully to charred greens and citrus.
How to make Charred Tenderstem Broccoli with Almonds
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the Little Olive Oil Koroneiki Superior extra virgin olive oil.
Place the tenderstem broccoli in the pan and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
Squeeze over the lemon juice and gently stir to coat.
Transfer to a serving dish and scatter over toasted flaked almonds.
Serve immediately.
Our top tip is not to overcrowd the pan so the broccoli chars rather than steams.
