Ingredients

500g Coles baby broccoli
4 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

Method

Blanch the baby broccoli in salted boiling water for 2–3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

In a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic into a paste. Add the anchovies and mash until combined. Mix in the red pepper flakes and thyme to form a coarse paste.

Transfer the paste to a bowl. Stir in Parmigiano Reggiano, extra virgin olive oil, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning with sea salt as needed.

Spread the anchovy sauce onto a plate. Place the baby broccoli on top. Sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and add a final crack of black pepper.
