Place a medium size pot of water over a high heat, bring to the boil and add a pinch of sea salt.

Place the broccoli into the pot of salted boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through but still bright green, then remove the pot from the heat and strain off the water. Cover and keep broccoli warm.

Working quickly in another pan, heat the butter over a high heat until it turns nut brown, then add the Extra Virgin Olive Oil to inhibit burning.

Add roasted almond flakes to the butter and toss. Place blanched broccoli into the pan and season. Deglaze with juice of the lemon, and remove from the heat.

Place on serving plate.
