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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Prep the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and remove any tough stems. You can also peel the stems if desired.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When braising the broccoli, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the broccoli from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality wine: The wine you use in the braising liquid will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy.

Conclusion:

Braised broccoli with garlic, anchovies, and wine is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The broccoli is tender and flavorful, and the anchovies and wine add a rich and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
