Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 1 head broccoli
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1/4 onion
- 3 anchovy fillets
- Olive oil as needed
- A pinch of salt
Recipe 🍳
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, trimming them neatly.
- Bring a generous amount of water to a boil in a pot, add a pinch of salt, then blanch the prepared broccoli briefly.
- Immediately transfer the blanched broccoli to cold water to stop the cooking, then drain well in a colander.
- Thinly slice or coarsely chop the garlic into slightly thick pieces, and finely dice the onion.
- Heat a pan with a generous drizzle of olive oil, then add the garlic and cook over medium-low heat until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
- When the garlic starts turning golden, add the diced onion and anchovies, mashing the anchovies with a spatula as you stir-fry everything together to make the sauce.
- Arrange the drained broccoli on a plate, then spoon the hot anchovy-garlic sauce evenly over the top to finish.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, blanch in salted water, then cool in cold water and drain.
- Heat olive oil in a pan and stir-fry sliced garlic, diced onion, and anchovies together to make the sauce.
- Place the broccoli on a plate and drizzle the finished anchovy oil sauce evenly over it.
Cooking tips 💡
- If the garlic is sliced too thin, it may burn before its savory flavor fully infuses, so it's best to slice it slightly thick.
- The anchovies themselves provide a salty, deep fermented flavor, so no additional salt is needed for the sauce.
- For extra variety, add thinly sliced apple or ham alongside the broccoli to enhance both flavor and texture.
