Green energy in a bowl. Blanched broccoli retains its vitamins and crunch, warmed by a coconut curry sauce. The meeting of tahini and lime in the dressing creates a creamy, acidic contrast that highlights the natural sweetness of the vegetables.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse quinoa in hot water, then cook in salted water for about 15 minutes.

Tip: Washing off saponin is crucial to avoid bitterness.
2 ✓

Cut broccoli into florets. Boil salted water. Add broccoli for 2-3 minutes.

Tip: Salted water raises the boiling point and seasons the veg.
3 ✓

Transfer broccoli to ice water (or rinse with cold tap water).

Tip: Shocking stops cooking immediately. Chlorophyll isn't broken down, so broccoli stays bright green.
4 ✓

In a skillet, sauté chopped onion in oil until translucent. Add garlic, ginger, curry, and turmeric. Fry briefly.

Tip: Blooming spices in oil activates their aromas.
5 ✓

Add coconut milk, simmer 5 minutes until thickened. This is your curry base.

Tip: Don't boil too hard or the coconut milk might split.
6 ✓

In a small bowl, mix tahini with lime juice and a little water until pourable.

Tip: Acid makes tahini seize initially, but water smooths it out.
7 ✓

Toss broccoli in the warm coconut curry sauce. Serve over quinoa, drizzled with lime tahini and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tip: This keeps the broccoli warm without overcooking it in the sauce.
