Broccoli with Garlic and Anchovies
Recipe information
Yield
serves 4
Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, sliced
2 anchovies, chopped
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch florets
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic; once the garlic is sizzling, add the anchovies. Cook and stir until the anchovies dissolve and sizzle in the oil, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the broccoli to the skillet, and season with the peperoncino and salt. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lid, and increase heat to high to boil away any excess liquid. Serve.
