Roasted Broccoli with Herby Yoghurt, Pomegranate and Pickled Eschallots
Ingredients:
- 2 heads of broccoli, florets cut off. Stalks can be saved to grate into curries, soups and pastas, eat as you would a floret.
- 1 cup greek yoghurt
- 1/2 bunch of parsley, chopped
- 1/2 bunch of dill, chopped
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 eschallot, sliced thinly
- 1 cup of red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- generous pinch of salt
- 1/2 a pomegranate
- olive oil
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C.
- Place your broccoli florets onto a baking tray, drizzle over olive oil and salt. Place into the preheated oven to roast for 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare your herby yoghurt, by combining the chopped parsley and dill into a bowl with the yoghurt, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In another small bowl, add in your pickling liquid - red wine vinegar, salt and sugar - with the sliced eschallots. Put these aside to pickle.
- Once your broccoli is roasted to perfection, smear the herby yoghurt onto a plate. Place the florets ontop with the pickled eschallot. My favourite way to remove the pomegranate jewels is to chop the pomegranate in half, lengthways, and hit it with a wooden spoon, over the plate, to release the jewels.
