Warm salad of purple sprouting broccoli with anchovy and orange dressing

Method

1. Steam or simmer the broccoli for 8-10 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly and put in a warm serving dish.

2. While the broccoli is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat.

3. Add the anchovies and garlic, and fry gently for a minute or two, mashing the anchovy until it has dissolved, and the garlic is lightly coloured. Remove from the heat.

4. Stir in the orange zest and juice, and the lemon juice.

5. Season with plenty of pepper, but no salt.

6. Pour the juice over the hot broccoli, and eat when still warm or at room temperature.
