Method

  1. Cook the broccoli in a pan of simmering water for 5 mins until just tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the shallots for 3-4 mins until softened and beginning to brown. Stir in the garlic, chilli and anchovies and fry for 1 min. Drain the broccoli, add to the pan and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 mins or until the broccoli becomes crispy and starts to char. Season with the lemon juice and black pepper to serve.
