Roast Tenderstem® broccoli with Herbed Yoghurt by Yasmin Khan

This recipe by Yasmin Khan takes inspiration from Tehran and is a refreshingly different way to enjoy your favourite green veg.

Yasmin said: “In Iran, plain yogurt is a staple ingredient and present at almost every meal, offering a cooling, refreshing buffer to the intense heat of the Iranian summer. Here, it is paired with aromatic dill and fresh mint to create a creamy garlicky dressing for crisp roasted Tenderstem® broccoli. It’s a wonderful side to serve alongside rice pilafs, roasted fish and meats, or as part of a vibrant mezze spread.”
