Ingredients

  • 220 g of cream cheese
  • 750 g of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tsp of ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 0.75 tsp of ground cardamom, or finely ground seeds from 8 pods
  • 0.5 whole nutmeg, grated
  • 4 tbsp of greek yoghurt
  • 75 g of ground almonds

Method

4 steps

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and line two large baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Break the florets into bite-sized pieces. Place all the ingredients except the florets in a bowl and mix well. Then add the florets and mix with your hands – make sure the mixture gets into all the nooks and crannies of the broccoli.

  3. Step 3

    Roast for 10 minutes, turn the pieces over and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender, crunchy and charred in places.

  4. Step 4

    Pile the broccoli up high in a bowl or on a plate and serve.
