BROCCOLI WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC



Broccoli With Anchovies and Garlic image

Admit it. Broccoli, that ubiquitous vegetable side dish, gets old. This take, which Pierre Franey brought to The Times in 1987 as part of his 60-Minute Gourmet column, will not. It is not much different - and no more difficult - than your standard broccoli sauté except for the addition of anchovies. If that word normally frightens you, fear not. Here, they are barely detectable as such, but provide a complex salinity that salt alone cannot. You'll never eat boring broccoli again.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch of broccoli, about 1 1/4 pounds
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 4 anchovies, smashed into a paste

Steps:

  • Cut off the broccoli tops into individual florets. Cut the stems crosswise into 2-inch lengths. Trim off the outside of the stems and cut the trimmed pieces diagonally into 1/4-inch slices. There should be about 6 cups in all.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the broccoli when it is added. Add salt and the broccoli pieces and cook 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, over relatively high heat, and add the garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook, tossing and stirring the ingredients together, about 1 minute. Serve.

Don't be put off by the number of anchovies in this recipe; they will soften and mellow during cooking, contributing wonderful flavor without being the least bit overpowering.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large head broccoli (1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and cut lengthwise through stalk into long spears (4 to 6 inches long)
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
6 anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add broccoli (in a single layer, if possible), and cook, without turning, until bottom sides are nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and anchovies, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper; flip broccoli pieces. Cook, stirring, until garlic and anchovies are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water, and continue cooking until broccoli is just tender (the stalk should provide little resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife), 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Season with more pepper, and add vinegar to pan, stirring to coat broccoli. Serve hot.

GRILLED BROCCOLI AND LEMON WITH CHILE AND GARLIC



Grilled Broccoli and Lemon With Chile and Garlic image

Alongside piles of roasted eggplant, the charred broccoli salad has become somewhat of a mascot on the salad display at Ottolenghi restaurants and delis throughout London. So much so, in fact, that it can't be removed from the menu, let alone tampered with. But here, the favorite is played with: Charred lemons and anchovies, savory with umami, add sourness and funk. Serve this alongside your protein of choice, or as part of an al fresco spread.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
2 small or medium broccoli with stalks (about 1 ½ pounds/700 grams)
7 tablespoons/103 milliliters olive oil, plus more for grilling
1 large fresno chile, thinly sliced at an angle, seeds and all
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthways
5 to 6 anchovies packed in oil, drained
1 large lemon, cut into 8 thin rounds and seeded, the rest squeezed for 1 teaspoon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil over medium-high. Keep a large bowl of ice water next to it. Meanwhile, trim the broccoli so 2 inches/5 centimeters of stalk remain attached. Cut the broccoli in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again to give you 4 wedges per head.
  • Blanch the broccoli by adding it to the boiling water and cooking for 3½ minutes, until softened. The stalks should retain a nice bite. Use a pair of tongs to remove the wedges and plunge them straight into the ice water to stop them from cooking further. Once completely cool, drain and dry them well, then place in a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, add 6 tablespoons/89 milliliters of oil, the chiles and garlic to a small frying pan and place it over medium heat. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the chiles start to become transparent. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool and crisp further.
  • Add the anchovies to the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until an anchovy is soft enough to be easily squashed with the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Place a large, well-greased grill pan over high heat and ventilate your kitchen well. (See Tip for outdoor grilling.) Toss the broccoli gently with 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Once the pan is very hot, grill the broccoli in 2 batches, turning so that all the flat sides have nice grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a tray to cool down. Grill the lemon rounds for 1½ minutes per side, until nicely charred, then transfer to a chopping board. When cool enough to handle, finely chop the lemon (skin and all) and transfer to a small bowl along with the lemon juice, parsley and remaining 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
  • Once the broccoli has cooled, top with the anchovy oil mixture and toss gently to combine. Arrange on a large serving platter and top evenly with the charred lemon mixture. Lastly, sprinkle over the fried chile and garlic and the flaked salt.

BROCCOFLOWER WITH ANCHOVIES AND GARLIC



Broccoflower with Anchovies and Garlic image

Categories     Fish     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Raisin     Pine Nut     Cauliflower     Healthy     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoflower or cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 2-inch-wide florets
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
21/2 teaspoons chopped canned anchovies, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 cuppine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cook broccoflower in 2 batches in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water< > until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Drain florets and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add anchovies and red pepper flakes and sauté, stirring, until anchovies are dissolved, about 1 minute, then add florets and toss to coat. Add pine nuts, raisins, and salt to taste and sauté, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color, with tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. You can also peel the stems if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its nutrients and flavor.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a rich flavor and aroma. If you don't have extra virgin olive oil, you can use a good quality regular olive oil.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic: Garlic is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. Freshly minced garlic is best, but you can also use jarred minced garlic if you're short on time.
  • Use anchovies sparingly: Anchovies are a salty fish, so a little goes a long way. Start with a few anchovies and add more to taste.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli with garlic and anchovies is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a complement to a main course. It is a healthy and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
