Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 pieces anchovy fillets
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets. Peel the stems and slice them into thin pieces.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Avoid browning.
Step 4
Add the anchovy fillets to the skillet, breaking them up with a wooden spoon until they dissolve into the oil.
Step 5
Add the red pepper flakes and stir for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Step 6
Pour in the white wine and bring to a gentle simmer, letting it reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Add the broth, followed by the broccoli florets and stems. Toss to coat the broccoli in the sauce.
Step 8
Season with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the broccoli braise for 10-12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
Remove the lid and raise the heat to medium-high to reduce the liquid slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 10
Drizzle the lemon juice over the finished dish and give it a final toss. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 11
Serve warm as a side dish, pairing well with roasted meats, fish, or pasta.
