Place the broccoli florets in a perforated steam container and Steam at 100°C for 1 minute.
Preheat the griddle plate on high heat, Induction setting 8, until the pan is smoking hot.
Remove the broccoli from the steam oven, quickly toss in half of the olive oil and place on the griddle pan, in batches, until you have char marks on the broccoli. Keep aside in a large mixing bowl.
Add the remaining oil into a small saucepan, with the capers, garlic and chilli.

Remove from the heat immediately and pour directly over the broccoli.
