Pan-Roasted Broccolini with Anchovy Sauce

Yield: 6 servings
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

3 cloves garlic
4 (3-inch-long) anchovies, drained
8 tablespoons ghee
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1/2 bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Maldon salt
24 ounces broccolini
3 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Place garlic cloves, anchovies, ghee, lemon zest and juice, and parsley in the bowl of a small food processor. Process until fairly smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and Maldon salt in a large skillet over high heat. Add broccolini and sauté, stirring, 5 minutes, until cooked and slightly blistered, yet still crunchy and bright green.

To serve, drizzle with anchovy sauce and sprinkle with capers and red pepper flakes.
