Method

  1. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and char the broccoli wedges in batches for 12-15 mins, turning regularly, until tender and charred. Arrange around the edge of a large serving platter.
  2. Griddle the whole red chillies for 6-8 mins until blackened. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and set aside. Alternatively, char the broccoli and chillies on the barbecue for the same timings.
  3. Meanwhile, put the carrots, red cabbage, onion and sliced mint in a large bowl along with the lime zest and juice, and olive oil; toss to mix.
  4. Peel of the blackened chilli skin, then deseed and finely chop the flesh; add to the veg bowl. Massage everything together with your hands and season to taste. Transfer the slaw to the centre of the serving platter with the charred broccoli. Scatter with the whole mint leaves to serve. Will keep for up to 3 days.
