Broccoli and Assembly
- 1 large head broccoli, stem removed and cut into large florets
- 8 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- kosher salt
- pepper
- 4 3⁄4 inches slices crusty bread
- 2 tablespoons pistachios, chopped

directions
- For the sweat potato mash, combine sweet potato, chile, OJ and water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until sweet potato is very soft and liquid has evaporated - about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and mash. Let cool slightly. Can be done up to 3 days in advance.
- Preheat oven to 425°F Toss broccoli and 25% of oil on a rimmed baking sheet. I use silpat. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool. Chop coarsely.
- When serving, brush both sides of the bread with 25% of the oil and toast on a baking sheet until golden brown - about 6-8 minutes.
- Toss broccoli, nuts, lemon juice, 1/2 the basil and mint with the balance of the oil in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread toast with sweet potato. Top with broccoli mixture and remaining basil and mint. Sprinkle with the flaked salt and cut into pieces.
