Method

step 1

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Drop in the asparagus and broccoli, boil for 1 min, then drain well, leave to cool and pat dry.
step 2

When the barbecue is hot, drizzle a little oil over the chilli and cook for 2-3 mins until charred and softened. Remove from the BBQ, leave to cool a little, then finely chop, and mix with the maple syrup, olive oil, lemon zest and juice. Season to taste and set aside.
step 3

Toss the asparagus and broccoli in the olive oil, and grill directly on the barbecue for 3-4 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and smoky. Transfer the vegetables to a serving plate and season with flaky sea salt. Serve the blistered chilli dressing on the side for spooning over.
