Who would have thought, gin with your vegetables? Be daring and give this a go. You’ll be surprised at the deliciously subtle spike it adds to the greens. Adding an extra splash is optional.
BOOZY BROCCOLINI WITH GINGER, CHILLI & NUTS RECIPE
Serves 4
1 Tbsp oil
1 tsp sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 Tbsp finely sliced ginger
1 red chilli, sliced thinly
8 stalks broccolini
¼ cup gin

Salt to season
¼ cup macadamia nuts, smashed
- In a wok or large frying pan, heat the oil and sesame oil. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli cooking for a few minutes to soften.
- Slice any thick stalks of broccolini in half, so they are all roughly the same size. Add them to the pan, tossing for a few minutes to soften.
- Add the gin and sugar, tossing through the broccolini until glossy and the gin has evaporated. Season with salt.
- Serve hot with a sprinkle of macadamia.
