"Few ingredients, easy, and flavourful.... my kind of recipe! The sweet and tart vinaigrette gets all its sweetness from the raisins. This reminds me of a hot version of the raw broccoli, cauliflower and raisin salad that's so popular. Adapted from Bon Appetit."

Ready In:: 25mins
Ingredients:: 8
Serves:: 4

ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ lbs broccoli, stems removed and cut into florets
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)
¹⁄₂ cup golden raisin
1 -2 tablespoon water
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste

directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place broccoli florets on a large rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle with 3 Tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat.
Roast until broccoli is browned in spots, 15 to 25 minutes: at 15 minutes mine is just right for me, browned but still a bit crunchy.
Meanwhile, combine in a blender or mini-food processor: 3 Tbsp oil, the vinegars, raisins, water, and cumin.
Pulse until the raisins are finely chopped. (If the vinaigrette becomes too thick add water, one Tbsp at a time, to thin.).
Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer broccoli to a large bowl and toss with the vinaigrette.

Delicious! The cumin in the sauce really adds an interesting dimension. I bet this would be good on green beans or brussels sprouts, also. Thanks for an inspiring recipe.

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown. I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy. I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/TasteofYellow.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Derfcookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/personal/FRENCH-foodfun.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/holidaylightssticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/photo-swap-7sticky.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/SoupsandsaladSTICKER.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1956/PotLuckSTICKER.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/237330/CameraLesschef-STICKER.jpg"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/237330/TEXMEXstickr.jpg"> <img src="http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s124/Cookin-jo/banners%20and%20stickers/piggysticker.jpg">
