Method

  1. Toss the broccoli and thickly sliced peppers with the oil.
  2. Sear them in a very hot dry pan over high heat, 10-12 minutes, turning once, until browned in patches and just tender.
  3. Meanwhile blend the tahini, parsley, lemon juice, garlic and 5 tbsp cold water with a stick blender until pale green and pourable. Serve hot, with the sauce poured over.
Chef’s tipTahini seizes and goes stiff when the water first hits it. Keep whisking and add more; it comes back smooth and pourable.
KeepKeeps 4 days chilled. Eat cold. Stir before serving; it thickens as it sits. Keep the herbs on top and fold them in at the last moment. Freeze the sauce alone, 1 month, in an ice tray.
SwapNo tahini? Greek yogurt with a spoon of olive oil.
