Tenderstem Broccoli with Peanut Gochujang Dressing Recipe – Yotam Ottolenghi Style

The Sprouts Grocery in NORTH LAS VEGAS has some really great surprise sales. I walked in and they had BIG BAGS of two kinds of broccoli on sale for 99cents a bag. In case you don’t know Yotam Ottolenghi is a multi award wining and James Beard award wining chef, restauranteur, and cook book author. I figured that he would have a great tender stem broccoli recipe and he did on his website. I didn’t want to change anything in his recipe but I had to change a few things due to what I had around the house. So I made a few substitutions and left out one ingredient that I didn’t have. I also doubled the amount of brown sugar peanuts because I knew I would want more than a 1/4 cup. This came out different and delicious! It might be something that you might want to try? This made four generous side servings for me.

Ingredients for around 4 servings

2 Tablespoons dark brown sugar – peanuts

2 teaspoons soy sauce – peanuts

2 teaspoons olive oil – peanuts

1/2 cup peanuts – peanuts

non stick spray – peanuts

1/2 cup peanut buttet – dressing

2 teaspoons gochujang – dressing

1 Tablespoon soy sauce – dressing

1 teaspoon dark brown sugar – dressing

1 lemon – just the juice

2 teaspoons – fresh grated ginger – dressing

2 garlic cloves , ground to paste – dressing

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 Tablespoons water

1 Tablespoon chives – to finish

1 pound broccoli (You can use whatever broccoli you want)

Salt to boil water

Directions

Set oven to 325 degrees F.

Get a small sheet tray ready and spray it with non stick spray.

In a small mixing bowl mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and oil. Then mix in the peanuts. Pour this out on your sprayed baking sheet in one layer and spread it out. This goes in the preheated oven for nine – ten minutes.

Put a pot of water on to boil and salt the water.

Mix up the dressing – in a small bowl mix together the peanut butter, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, salt, and water. Put to the side.

When the peanuts come out of the oven they will be molten hot. You might want to break them up a little before they set and lump up together.

Boil the broccoli for three minutes. Drain the broccoli and either serve or if for latter put in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Serve with peanuts and sauce either on the side or drizzled on and finish with chives.
