Broccoli Pesto
Method
- 1Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for 2–3 minutes, until tender and bright green. Drain, then immediately transfer to a bowl of iced water. Once cool, drain thoroughly.
- 2Place the broccoli, anchovies, Parmesan and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
- 3With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Process until combined but still slightly textured.
- 4Taste and season with cracked black pepper and, if needed, a little sea salt. Serve immediately or refrigerate until required.
