Purple sprouting broccoli

Purple sprouting broccoli
with anchovy cream

Requires:

400g purple sprouting broccoli, stalks trimmed and good leaves attached
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
150ml cream
5-6 anchovy fillets
salt and pepper

Method:

Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 mins. Drain, refresh in cold water and chop roughly.

Cook the garlic, chilli and rosemary gently in the oil for a few mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the anchovies. Keep stirring until they have ‘melted’ into the oil.

Add the broccoli and cook for a few mins. Add the cream, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins until the broccoli is cooked and the cream has reduced slightly. Season well
