Ingredients
- 6 cup broccoli florets
- 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 3/4 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Set a bowl of ice water by the stove. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add broccoli and cook until bright green and almost tender, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli to the ice water. Drain and pat dry.
- Grate 1 teaspoon zest from lemon, then cut it in half. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the lemon halves, cut-side down, and cook until lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the broccoli to the pan and cook, stirring once, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; toss with oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Juice 1 lemon half into a small bowl. Stir in the zest, yogurt, cumin, paprika and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve the broccoli with the yogurt sauce and the remaining lemon.
