Heat 1/2 cup water to boiling and pour over the currants in a small
bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes, then drain.
Shred the broccoli in a food processor, using the grater disk (the
attachment with the holes, not the blade). In a large bowl, combine
the shredded broccoli, currants, red onion, and almonds.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, salt,
and a generous quantity of fresh pepper. Pour the dressing over the
broccoli mixture and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt or
pepper, if needed. Allow to sit for 30 minutes (or an hour in the
fridge) so the flavors can mingle.
