    Purple sprouting broccoli with satay sauce

    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 15 minutes
    • Total time: 25 minutes

    Serves: 4 as a side (or 2 as a main with rice)

    Ingredients

    ½ tsp groundnut oil
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
    20g fresh root ginger, finely chopped
    ½-1 tbsp light brown soft sugar 
    2 tbsp smooth or crunchy peanut butter
    100ml reduced-fat coconut milk
    1 tbsp light soy sauce
    1 lime, juice
    400g purple sprouting broccoli, trimmed and any thicker stems halved lengthways

    Method

    1. For the sauce, heat the oil in a small frying pan with the garlic, chilli and ginger over a low heat and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar and cook for 2 minutes more, until melted and caramelised. Use a hand whisk to blend in the peanut butter, coconut milk and soy sauce with a pinch of salt. Warm through, remove from the heat and add the lime juice. Keep warm.

    2. Steam the broccoli spears over simmering water for 6-8 minutes, until just tender. Divide between plates and accompany with dipping bowls of the sauce, or spoon it directly over the vegetables. Serve with rice or noodles, if liked, to make it into a main course.
