Purple sprouting broccoli with anchovy and chilli

Side Serves 4 20 min

This classic combination makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled fish or lamb, or can be turned easily into a mid-week supper by mixing with pasta or spelt. If anchovies aren't your thing, try capers instead. Outside the short purple sprouting broccoli season, the dressing is equally delicious with other robust green veg like kale or chard.
