Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
85g/3oz broccoli, cut into florets
1 garlic clove, chopped
½ red chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
½ lime, juice only
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
Heat the olive oil in a wok, add the broccoli and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften, then add the garlic and chilli and fry for 1-2 minutes.

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.

To serve, spoon the stir-fry into a bowl and serve as a side dish.

Making it is so simple.  Start with cutting the broccoli into florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer.

Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.

Roast about 20 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.

Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with a bit more olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese.

Serve and enjoy!
