Battered Broccoli

A different way to present your broccoli. The frying in hot oil brings out the sweetness of this amazing vegetable. Kids love it and grown ups that don’t normally like broccoli are often converted.

Ingredients

• 1 Broccoli head
• 75 gr of Flour
• 1/2 Lemon juice
• 1 Egg
• 1 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Water
• 1 pinch of Salt
• 1 pinch of Pepper
• 1 tbsp of Curry powder

Boil a pot of water seasoned with coarse salt. Cut the broccoli into florets and cook them in the boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove from the water and let it cool down. Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Add cold water bit by bit and whisk until it gains a thick consistency. Add the olive oil, lemon juice and the egg and whisk until smooth. Season with the salt, pepper and curry and whisk. Heat up the oil in a frying pan. Dip the broccoli florets into the batter, let the excess batter drip off and deep fry in the hot oil.
