In his book “Chasing Flavor,” New York chef Dan Kluger adds multiple layers of big, bold flavors to broccoli that’s been deeply charred on a hot grill. This recipe is a simplified version of his dish that, for us, still hits the right notes. The bittersweetness of the grilled broccoli paired with a citrusy vinaigrette, spicy green chili, fresh mint and peppery radishes results in a dish that’s greater than the sum of its parts. When prepping the broccoli (to be efficient, a good time to do so is while the pistachio-oil mixture cools, before whisking in the citrus and completing the vinaigrette), keep the pieces on the large side—1½-inch spears are ideal—so they’re easy to manage on the grill and won’t slip through the grate. If outdoor grilling isn’t an option for you, cook the spears on the stovetop in a ridged grill pan, in batches if needed, depending on the size of your grill pan.

Tip

Don’t allow the broccoli to cool before dressing it. Add the vinaigrette to the spears immediately after removing them from the grill. As the broccoli cools, it will absorb flavors so each bite is seasoned throughout.

Uh-MAZ-ing
I made this today and it was perfect! The char from the broccoli and the brightness from the citrus was a wonderful pairing. This will become a regularly recurring option for broccoli for us!

This might have made a better main dish - having it as a side I think meant that the flavor was lost to other dishes on the plate, and it was a lot or work to do with another meal. Was excited to try it. A fun idea.
