Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the broccoli with 2 tbsp oil, season well and add to a large roasting tray. Roast for 15 mins or until tender and beginning to char at the edges. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, toss the torn ciabatta with the remaining oil; season and add to a roasting tray. Bake for the last 8-10 mins of the broccoli roasting time until pale golden and crunchy.
For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients with 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Season to taste with black pepper.
Once cool, toss the charred broccoli, lettuce, butter beans and capers on a large serving platter. Scatter over the ciabatta croutons, drizzle over the dressing and top with the Parmesan shavings to serve, if you like.
