Perfect Italian Broccoli

Here's a recipe for simple and delicious broccoli from my new Viana La Place cookbook (slightly modified, as usual), served in my new serving bowl, and written up on my new computer (first in 5 years -- hooray).

Heat over medium low, stirring until anchovies are melted:
- 1/4 cup or less olive oil
- 1 small fresh or dried red chile pepper, chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 anchovy fillets from a small can

Remove from heat. Steam or boil until tender:

- 1 bunch broccoli, trimmed and separated (I like to include lots of sliced stem)

Drain and toss in pan with anchovied oil and the following:

- Juice of 1/2 lemon, about 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- Pepper

Thanks for the lovely bowl and cookbook, Mom.
