BBQ baby broccoli with blue cheese creme fraiche

Topped with toasted almonds, this barbecued baby broccoli and blue cheese creme fraiche is a rich and creamy side that will complement any main.

Ingredients

3 bunches baby broccoli
2 tbs olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 lemon, zested, juiced
2 tbs Coles Flaked Almonds, toasted
1 tbs finely chopped chives
 
BLUE CHEESE CRÈME FRAÎCHE
100g Coles Danish Blue Cheese
1/4 cup (20g) finely grated parmesan
250g crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tbs apple cider vinegar

STEP 1
To make the blue cheese crème fraîche, place the blue cheese, parmesan, crème fraîche or sour cream and vinegar in a food processor and process until smooth. Season. Spread evenly over a large serving platter.

STEP 2
Heat a barbecue grill or chargrill on high. Place baby broccoli in a bowl. Drizzle with oil. Add garlic and season. Toss to combine. Cook, turning, for 4 mins or until lightly charred. Arrange over crème fraîche mixture on the platter. Drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with almond, chives and lemon zest.

STEP 3
Serve with olive oil and lemon wedges.
Added crunch: we’ve sprinkled this salad with toasted almond flakes, but you can also use toasted pepitas or pine nuts.
