Best Roasted Lemon Broccoli With Tahini Yogurt Sauce Recipes

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH TAHINI YOGURT

Steps:

• Trim the ends of 1 1/4 pounds broccoli and quarter the stalks lengthwise. Toss with olive oil and salt. Roast cut-side down on a preheated baking sheet at 450˚ F, flipping once, until browned and tender, about 30 minutes. Whisk together 3/4 cup plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons each tahini and lemon juice, 1 grated garlic clove and a pinch of salt; spoon over the broccoli. Sprinkle with ground sumac and chopped scallions, dill and cilantro.

ROASTED BROCCOLI, PUY LENTILS & TAHINI YOGURT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the halved broccoli, stalk-side down, on a baking tray. Mix the oil with the paprika and some seasoning, then rub all over the broccoli. Roast for 30 mins until tender and lightly charred. Tip the lentils around the broccoli, sprinkle over 2 tbsp water and cook for 5 mins more until warmed through.
• Mix the tahini, garlic and lemon zest and juice with the yogurt. Season to taste and add a splash of water to make it a drizzling consistency. Remove the broccoli halves, add the parsley to the lentils and season. Divide between two plates, top each one with a broccoli half and a drizzle of tahini yogurt, then sprinkle over the almonds. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mortar and pestle mash the garlic clove to a purée with a generous pinch of salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/3 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Taste and adjust salt.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the flower buds on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached buds with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast until the tops are nicely browned, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, roasting about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and transfer to a platter or to individual serving plates. Drizzle on the tahini sauce and serve, or serve the tahini sauce in small bowls for dipping.
