Equipment Used
Instructions
- Blanch the whole head of broccoli by steeping it in boiling water to soften it slightly.
- Once blanched, drizzle the broccoli with olive oil and season generously with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the seasoned broccoli in an air fryer or oven and roast until golden and slightly charred, bringing out its natural sweetness and deepening the flavour.
- While the broccoli roasts, prepare the purée. In a blender, combine the butter beans, miso paste, avocado, and olives. Add a drizzle of olive oil and blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
- To serve, spread a generous amount of the butter bean purée onto a plate. Place the roasted broccoli steak on top, allowing the smoky, spiced flavours to contrast beautifully with the creamy, umami-rich purée.
