Such an easy healthy recipe.
Course: Side course, Small meal, Vegetarian asian
Cuisine: Japanese, Vegetarian Asian
Keyword: Broccoli, Vegetarian recipes, Walnut miso
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 300 g shelled walnuts
  • 1 tbsp light miso paste available from most Asian shops
  • 500 g broccoli or sprouting broccoli
  • A few drops pumpkin seed oil

Optional, to make it more of a meal:

  • 250g 250g buckwheat soba noodles I like to use pink ones, coloured by plum extract, to contrast with the green of the broccoli
  • 3 chopped spring onions

Instructions

  • Mix the walnuts and the miso in the food processor until well blended. Sprinkle over the warm broccoli.
  • Wash the broccoli. Steam in salted water for 15 minutes or until just tender. Put in a bowl, sprinkling a few drops of good cold pressed oil such as pumpkin seed oil, dark and a rich olive colour, a present from one of my guests from Germany  Austria.
  • If you want a more substantial meal, boil some soba noodles briefly in salted water until al dente, or whatever the Japanese expression is for that, roughly drain (a little water melts the miso into the dish) and place the broccoli, then the miso mix, then the spring onions, on top.
