Broccoli & walnuts with soy & honey

Step by Step

Step 1

Cut the ends from the broccoli stems and cut the heads into bitesized florets. Bring 2L water and the salt to the boil in a large saucepan. Cook the broccoli for 3 minutes, or until tender. Do not overcook – you want it to be crunchy.

Step 2

Drain the broccoli in a colander and cool under cold running water. Drain again, then leave to dry.

Step 3

For the sauce, fry the walnuts in a dry frying pan for 3-5 minutes until toasted. Cool slightly, then crush using a pestle and mortar and grind into a paste (you can do this in a blender to make it quicker).

Step 4

Gradually add the tahini, honey, soy sauce and then 1-2 tbsp water – enough to make a sauce. Toss the broccoli with the walnut sauce and serve immediately.
