Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the halved broccoli, stalk-side down, on a baking tray. Mix the oil with the paprika and some seasoning, then rub all over the broccoli.

- Mix the tahini, garlic and lemon zest and juice with the yogurt. Season to taste and add a splash of water to make it a drizzling consistency. Remove the broccoli halves, add the parsley to the lentils and season. Divide between two plates, top each one with a broccoli half and a drizzle of tahini yogurt, then sprinkle over the almonds.

ROASTED BROCCOLI WITH TAHINI GARLIC SAUCE
One of my favorite Middle Eastern mezze is deep-fried cauliflower served with tahini garlic sauce. I decided to try the dish with broccoli, but instead of deep-frying the broccoli I roasted it, a method that requires a lot less oil. The buds on the broccoli florets toast to a crispy brown, and the texture of the stalk remains crisp. It goes wonderfully with the classic and irresistible tahini garlic sauce.

Steps:
- In a mortar and pestle mash the garlic clove to a purée with a generous pinch of salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the sesame tahini. Whisk in the lemon juice, beginning with the smaller amount. The mixture will stiffen up. Gradually whisk in up to 1/3 cup water, until the sauce has the consistency of thick cream (or runny yogurt). Taste and adjust salt.
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the flower buds on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached buds with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast until the tops are nicely browned, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, roasting about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and transfer to a platter or to individual serving plates. Drizzle on the tahini sauce and serve, or serve the tahini sauce in small bowls for dipping.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are compact and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly charred flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the broccoli florets so that they can roast evenly.
- Season the broccoli generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to flavor the broccoli. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or smoked paprika, to taste.
- Make the tahini-yogurt sauce while the broccoli is roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the roasted broccoli with the tahini-yogurt sauce immediately: The sauce will help to keep the broccoli moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Roasted lemon broccoli with tahini-yogurt sauce is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The broccoli is roasted until tender and slightly charred, and the tahini-yogurt sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
