General

2 tbs olive oil

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Grilled Broccoli

4 cups Broccoli florets

1 tbs ReaLemon lemon juice

Whipped Feta

3/4 cup Feta cheese

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1 tsp Garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp Lemon zest

Toasted Cumin

1 tsp Cumin seeds

Method

Preparing the Ingredients

Trim and Cut the Broccoli

Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold water. Trim the stems and cut the broccoli into medium-sized florets.

Prepare Feta Mixture

Crumble the feta cheese and place it in a food processor. Add a few tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt (or a splash of cream) to help with blending. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.

Toasting the Cumin Seeds

Toast the Cumin

Place the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling the Broccoli

Season the Broccoli

Drizzle the broccoli florets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Grill the Broccoli

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the broccoli florets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until charred and tender. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Assembling the Dish

Spread Whipped Feta

Spoon a generous layer of whipped feta onto a serving plate or platter. Use the back of a spoon to spread it in a circular motion.

Add Grilled Broccoli

Place the grilled broccoli florets on top of the whipped feta.

Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle the toasted cumin seeds over the top of the broccoli and feta. Serve immediately, optionally with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh lemon juice for extra flavor.
