How to Make It
Step 1
Trim the tops of the broccoli florets using kitchen scissors to create small rice sized grains. You should have around two cups of rice.
Step 2
Add the pine nuts to a dry pan over a low heat and toast for a minute or two until lightly golden. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over a low/medium heat. Finely slice the garlic and add to the pan, sweating until tender.
Step 4
Add the broccoli grains, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Cook for just a minute or two until the broccoli is hot through.
Step 5
Top the rice with the toasted pine nuts to serve.
