Broccoflower with Anchovies and Garlic

This vibrant broccoflower with anchovies and garlic is a sophisticated side dish that perfectly balances Mediterranean flavours.

It is a brilliant way to introduce more brassicas into your diet while keeping the textures light and interesting.

As a heart-healthy choice, this recipe uses olive oil and nutrient-dense pine nuts to provide healthy fats and a satisfying nutty finish. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled fish or roast chicken, but it is equally delicious served alongside a simple pasta dish.
