Step 1

"Cook" raw broccoli: Toss broccoli in red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside 10 minutes - it will lightly pickle, almost "ceviche" the broccoli.

Step 2

Garlic, spice and oil mix: Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, cumin seeds and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until garlic is light golden. Stir in sesame oil.

Step 3

Toss broccoli: Immediately pour oil mix over broccoli. Toss very well using a rubber spatula to scrape up all the oil from the side of the bowl.

Step 4

Marinate: Leave on the counter for at least 1 hour to marinate, or refrigerate for up to 48 hrs (it gets better with time).

Step 5

Serve at room temp, not cold, for best flavour!
