About

This recipe creates a big batch of dressing. It keeps for ages in the fridge and makes a great Caesar-type salad with Cos lettuce and Parmesan, a dip for raw vegetables, or a spread for hot toast. It can also be served with fish such as sea bass, bream or hake.

Method

Purée the anchovies, garlic, mustard and vinegar in a food processor until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil very slowly, as if making mayonnaise. Season with the black pepper, then pulse in the chilli and basil.

Divide the broccoli into florets, then peel the stems and slice them into chunks. Separate the Treviso into leaves. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. B
