Method
1. Pre-heat flat plate and one burner below grills to medium-high heat before cooking.
2. Prepare your greens by cutting the brussel sprouts in half (stem to tip) then with the broccoli cut into large florets. Keep separate. Don’t cut too small or they will fall between the grills.
3. Blanch the greens in boiling hot water for 1 minute to begin the cooking process, drain hot water, and then set aside.
4. On the grill, place speck and grill till char lines can be seen both sides. About 2 mins each side. Set speck aside on chopping board.
5. Lightly oil the greens in a bowl. Place brussel sprouts on the flat plate if smaller, or can use grills if larger sprouts.
6. Grill your greens till char appears. Set aside to cool slightly.
7. Slice speck into batons.
8. Combine in a large mixing bowl the greens, speck, goat’s cheese, salt, pepper, lime and olive oil.
