Broccoli aux Anchois

Purple sprouting broccoli only ever seems to be with us for about two weeks a year, so it’s essential to make the most of this wonderful vegetable while it’s in season. This recipe relies on quick steaming to ensure that none of the bright colour and firm texture of the broccoli is lost; and the anchovies and lemon add just enough of a contrast to enhance, rather than overwhelm, the delicate flavour.
