Broccoli Mash |
|
Serves: 10
Serves 10 to 12
This recipe was inspired by Alice Waters' wonderful long-cooked broccoli. I made it so often for a while that my husband very pleasantly asked me if we could vary the menu a little. This is also great cold, spread on a piece of toasted baguette that's been drizzled with a little olive oil.
6 pounds broccoli
Clove from 2 bulbs garlic, thinly sliced
4 1/2 to 5 cups water
1 cup olive oil
6 anchovies fillets, coarsely chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 lemons, juiced
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Peel the broccoli stems. Slice the broccoli stems and florets crosswise into 1/4- to 1/8-inch slices. In a stockpot, combine the broccoli, garlic, 4 1/2 cups of the water, the olive oil, the anchovy fillets, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Check to make sure there is still liquid, and if the liquid is low, add the remaining 1/2 cup water. Cook 15 minutes longer, or until soft. Mash the broccoli in the pan, leaving a few lumps here and there. Add the lemon juice and stir.
Place the mash on a warmed platter and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
