Where ever possible, I ask to keep menus when I go somewhere amazing. (Or I take sneaky pics!) I should start a collection of paper menus and use them as decoration in my new premises, coming soon!
Anyhoo, when recently in London I visited one of my favourite restaurants Dishoom, which I may have mentioned on this site elsewhere. I always make sure it is on my itinerary when I travel to London. And yes, this idea is straight off the menu I smuggled out of the restaurant. (Kidding, they totally gave it to me!)
I didn't eat this on the night in question, but could have. SO delish. I hope you like it, though it could be completely wrong in entirety! I made it up based on the menu write up. But zero disappointment with the outcome. What a mix of flavours...and look at that, no Thermomix required!

Drizzle more EVOO into a large frying pan or wok and quickly saute the snow peas, followed by the broccoli florets. Don't over cook these as they will keep cooking once out of the pan. Tip into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt, and drizzling with the honey, whilst allowing to cool.
