Recipe

Ingredients

  1. 3 pounds broccoli, ends trimmed
  2. 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  4. 12 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained
  5. 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  6. 1 teaspoon minced rosemary

Directions

  1. Light a grill. Bring a medium pot of water fitted with a steamer insert to a boil. Cut the heads of broccoli lengthwise into quarters, leaving the florets attached to the long stem. Peel the stems. Steam the broccoli until bright green, about 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a blender or a mini processor, combine the anchovies, lemon juice and rosemary and puree until smooth. With the blender on, slowly pour in the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil. Season the anchovy sauce with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the broccoli over high heat, turning, until lightly charred all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a platter and drizzle with some of the dressing. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

Make Ahead

    The dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

five mins steaming is too long. Just steam until just tender.

but the sauce with the roasted Broccoli is a keeper

I think this disk can be prepared without the salt, the anchovy fillets should be enough.
