Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 broccoli large head, cut into 4 large florets
  • 200 g sliced haloumi (or avocado for a dairy-free swap)
  • 1/2 red onion medium, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup dill fresh
Anti-Inflammatory Dressing Drizzle
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup full fat greek yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt for a dairy-free swap)
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/425ºF/Gas Mark 7 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Place broccoli in a bowl of boiling water and leave to sit for 2 minutes to soften slightly. Drain and place on the lined baking tray.
  3. Make 3 cuts lengthways across the broccoli heads. This will creating an opening for you to stuff the broccoli with the fillings.
  4. Fill each cut with a slices of haloumi, red onion and dill.
  5. Drizzle the lot with olive oil and season with a few crunches of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes, or until the haloumi has melted and the broccoli is cooked.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the anti-inflammatory dressing drizzle by combining the remaining ingredients (yoghurt, tumeric, cumin and olive oil) in a small bowl.
  8. Serve each stuffed broccoli on a plate, and add a good dollop of the anti-inflammatory dressing drizzle.

Notes

Dairy-Free & Vegan Options: Replace the dairy-based greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt and swap haloumi for avocado (trust us, avo tastes so great when warmed like this!)
