New York Times Famous Broccoli Salad - with Cumin, Garlic and Sesame
Recipe video above. This is a wildly popular raw Broccoli Salad by Melissa Clark of the New York Times. The red wine vinegar lightly "cooks" the broccoli so it's not as hard as plain raw broccoli, then it's marinated in an intensely flavoured cumin, garlic and sesame infused olive oil. It is unexpectedly good, it's unique, and I keep making it so I wanted to share the recipe.Not a fan of raw broccoli? This probably isn't the dish to convert you, I'll admit. Try instead just lightly steaming the broccoli - it's really worth making just for the dressing!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
"Cook" raw broccoli: Toss broccoli in red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside ⏱️ 10 minutes - it will lightly pickle, almost "ceviche" the broccoli.
red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, cider vinegar)1 tbsp
2
Garlic, spice and oil mix: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin seeds and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until garlic is light golden. Stir in sesame oil.
cumin seeds (whole, not powder)2 tspsesame oil (, roasted (Note 1))2 tsp
3
Toss broccoli: Immediately pour oil mix over broccoli. Toss very well using a rubber spatula to scrape up all the oil from the side of the bowl.
4
Marinate: Leave on the counter for at least ⏱️ 1 hour to marinate, or refrigerate for up to ⏱️ 48 hrs (it gets better with time).
5
Serve at room temp, not cold, for best flavour!
