Barbecued Tenderstem® Broccoli,

by on in Grillguide Blog

Quick to whip up and sure to disappear just as quickly once it is on the table!

Don’t just save the barbecue for burgers and sausages – this exceptionally flavoursome recipe is a brilliant barbecued starter or side dish. You could even serve it as a main dish for vegetarians.

We use one of our Party Instant BBQ’s to cook these on two bricks to protect the table top. TIP: Shake the coals down to one end to create a cool zone.

Method

  1. Toss the Tenderstem® broccoli in the 1 tbsp of olive oil and keep to one side while you make the dressing. Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes and place in a small bowl with the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

  2. Place the Tenderstem® broccoli on your barbecue and cook for about 5-8 minutes, turning regularly until it is becoming tender with grill lines on the stems.

  3. Place the barbecued Tenderstem® broccoli on a serving plate and immediately crumble over the goat’s cheese so it starts to melt just slightly from the heat of the Tenderstem® broccoli.

  4. Spoon over the dressing, scatter with the pine nuts and serve straight away.
