The inspiration for this dish comes from my trip to Austin where I was lucky enough to have dinner at Lambert’s with my pals Bill & Amanda. We had an amazing meal, this is my attempt at the amazing broccoli garlic jalapeño dish we had. I love garlic and jalapeños so used a lot!!

2 heads of broccoli
2 tsp olive oil
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 mild red chillies/jalepenos, thinly sliced
coarse sea salt
black pepper

Preheat oven to 450.

Separate the brocolli into florets and blanch in boiling water. Remove immediately to a bowl of ice water, then drain and leave to dry completely.

Once the broccoli is dry, toss with garlic, jalapeños, 2 tsp of the olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 minutes, tossing several times until nicely charred.
