Chilly Broccoli

IMG_20180104_114853-01.jpeg

Simple as always.

You need:

  • A head of broccoli. Separate into large florets. Wash and dry.
  • A yellow capsicum, sliced into long thick sticks.
  • 4-5 Big Red Chilies, remove seeds and cut lengthwise thru the middle.
  • 4 tablespoons of Flavored Oil : Use either sesame, coconut or olive oil. Add pepper, salt, cumin seeds, onion seeds…whatever you want, as much as you want.

Take the flavored oil in a large dish. Toss in the capsicum and chilies. Rub in the oil and remove them. Add the broccoli and coat it in oil. Doing this in two batches ensures a good rub on everything without destroying the tender florets.

Get a pan to high high. Add the capsicum and chilies. They MUST sizzle when put on the pan. If your pan is large enough, push them to a corner and add the broccoli. Broccoli must not be stacked on each other. But each and every floret must make contact with the pan. Let it cook at high heat. Turn them around once in a while. The chilies will cook first. Remove and when slightly cool cut them into thins strips.

When the capsicum and broccoli is cooked thru and its easy to know this as they become brighter and brighter. When they look bright enough, taste if unsure. Remove from pan.

 

To make it a full meal, add in any grilled protein.
