For the Broccoli
- 8 ounces broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup white rice flour
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- avocado or grapeseed oil, for frying For the Turmeric Tahini
- 2 tablespoons tahini (Note 1)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon EACH turmeric and black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Stir together all of the Turmeric Tahini Sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth and runny. If your sauce is quite thick, add a little more water as needed. Set aside.
- Step 2: Chop the broccoli into small florets.
- Step 3: In a medium bowl stir together the rice flour, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, and salt. Add 2/3 cup of cold water. Stir until a smooth, runny batter forms. It should be the consistency of a very thin pancake batter.
- Step 4: Toss the broccoli florets in the batter so that they are coated on all sides.
- Step 5: Heat a generous layer of avocado or grapeseed oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Once a drop of water sizzles immediately on contact with the oil, add in the battered broccoli in a single layer. Leave space between each floret. Note: You will probably need to cook the broccoli in several batches to avoid over-crowding.
- Step 6: Fry the broccoli in the oil until all of the sides are crispy and golden, about 5 to 8 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully flip the broccoli as each side cooks. Lower the heat if it is browning too quickly.
- Serve: Use tongs to transfer the crispy broccoli to a mixing bowl. Toss with some of the tahini sauce until lightly coated. Enjoy immediately with any extra tahini sauce on the side.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: A good tahini can make a world of difference. The texture and flavor depends on the type of sesame seed used, the roast level, and how those seeds are processed. Our favorite is this one.
