Grilled Mayo/Yogurt Broccoli
This is GAME-CHANGING Broccoli. I know, game-changing is a pretty important phrase – and this is!! I threw this broccoli together on a whim and Mr. Chef and I were so blown away by it that we knew I had to try to recreate it (by actually measuring and stuff). My lack of measuring in my day-to-day life is a struggle – trust me, that is the hardest part of loving to cook and not using measuring tools… most of the time I can’t even recreate my own recipes. So if I took the time to measure to share with you, you know it has to be good!
UPDATE – I originally wrote (and never shared) this a while ago. This is now our GO-TO way to cook Broccoli! We LOVE to coat all of our veggies (and often even Chicken) in a mayo/yogurt marinade. PLEASE try this!!!
So you know how you can marinate chicken in yogurt for an awesome Greek or Indian flavor? WELL, this works the same way with the broccoli. The yogurt/mayo and spice combo gives this broccoli a super “meaty” flavor and is going to be has been the perfect grilled broccoli partner to our steaks & other grilled goodies all summer long!
We have been adding a combination of yogurt/mayo/oil and whatever seasonings we feel like it on almost everything we want to “amp up” on the grill so far this summer. Zucchini, potatoes, chicken, broccoli – you name it, we’ve coated it so far this year. Please give this a shot, I promise (hope?) you won’t be disappointed!
