How to Make It

01
Char the broccoli

Cut into large florets. Toss with oil and salt. Roast 230°C for 20 minutes or until edges are deeply charred and stalks are tender. The char is the entire point.

02
Fry the capers

Pat capers dry. Fry in shallow oil 2 minutes until they open and crisp like little flowers. Drain on paper towels. These are the surprise element.

03
Make Caesar dressing

Whisk egg yolks, anchovy, garlic, lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify. Finish with Parmesan and crack of black pepper.

04
Build the salad

Arrange charred broccoli on platter. Spoon Caesar generously over. Add croutons and crispy capers. Shave Parmesan over the top extravagantly.
