- Get a pan of salted boiling water on the boil. Get a frying pan on medium/high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Once hot add the garlic and chilli and fry for 2 minutes and then add the spices and fry until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile boil the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
- In another frying pan over medium/high heat, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add the bread and fry until golden. Add the grated parmesan and the zest of 1/2 a lemon. Stir and fry until golden. Set aside.
