Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli, lower stems removed and reserved for another use
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon chili oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves green garlic, minced
½ cup chicken or vegetable stock
½ teaspoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon peanut butter
¼ cup hoisin sauce
½ cup unsalted peanuts, ground
1 red chili pepper, seeded and minced

Directions:
1. Steam the broccoli until just tender then drain it under cold water. Break it into stalks; arrange the stalks around the outer edge of a serving platter. Cover and chill.
2. To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the oil. Add the chili paste, tomato paste, and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the stock, maple syrup, peanut butter, and hoisin sauce. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes. Add the peanuts and chili pepper. Let it cool and pour it into a small bowl, to be set in the middle of the broccoli plate.
