Broccoli with Garlic and Anchovies

Ingredients

serves 4

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, sliced
2 anchovies, chopped
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1 1/2-inch florets
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  1. Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic; once the garlic is sizzling, add the anchovies. Cook and stir until the anchovies dissolve and sizzle in the oil, about 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add the broccoli to the skillet, and season with the peperoncino and salt. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the skillet, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lid, and increase heat to high to boil away any excess liquid. Serve.
