Method

Vegetables Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Rinse the okra and broccolini under cold water. Trim the ends of the broccolini and cut the okra into halves if they are large.

  2. 2

    Blister the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the okra and broccolini. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are blistered and tender. Season with salt to taste.

    Make the Peanut Chili Crunch

    In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the chopped peanuts and dried red chili flakes, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peanuts are golden brown. Remove from heat and season with salt to taste.

    Prepare the Shiso Greek Yogurt
