Ingredients

  • 2 bunches broccolini or 1 head broccoli
  • 1 lb ground beef 450g
  • 1-2 small red chilies fresh or dried (optional)
  • 1-2 lemons
  • 1 bunch basil leaves picked

Instructions

  1. Chop the broccolini (or broccoli) into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the chili (if using).

  2. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan or wok. Cook the broccolini, stirring, until slightly softened - somewhere between super crunchy and very soft.

  3. Remove the veg from the pan. Add a little more oil and cook the beef and chili (if using) over high heat until well browned, stirring often to break up the chunks.

  4. Return the cooked veg to the pan and warm through for a minute or so. Taste and season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

  5. Serve with basil leaves on top and extra lemon halves on the side.
