SESAME BROCCOLI
Mild broccoli gets energized by this textured, rich dressing spiked with sweet miso and soy sauce. Crushed toasted sesame seeds create the intense flavor base for this rich, super nutty sauce. The dish is a great side to accompany any grilled or roasted protein; it can be made a few hours in advance and is equally tasty chilled or at room temperature. Any leftovers can be chopped and tossed with warm pasta and grated Parmesan the next day.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath.
- While the water comes to a boil, in a small nonstick skillet over low heat, refresh the toasted sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until oils are released and seeds are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and grind until half the seeds are coarsely crushed. Alternatively, pulse once or twice in a food processor until half of the seeds are crushed.
- Transfer sesame seeds to a large bowl and add the oil, miso, soy sauce and vinegar; mix or whisk well.
- Once the water is boiling, blanch the broccoli by cooking it until bright green, about 1 minute, then drain and transfer to the ice water to cool. Drain well and pat dry.
- Add the cooked broccoli to the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli florets. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- If you don't have sesame seeds, you can substitute another type of seed, such as chia seeds or sunflower seeds.
- You can adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less Sriracha sauce.
- If you don't have honey, you can use another type of sweetener, such as agave nectar or maple syrup.
- Be sure to cook the broccoli until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Serve the broccoli with rice, noodles, or your favorite protein.
