broccoli confit
This makes the broccoli almost like butter. The florets trap all the oil richness and the stems melt away. The anchovies give this a smoky salty flavor. This is great spread on crusty bread, or spread on pizza. Or add to pasta dish.

3Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cover and cook on low 2 hours. Stirring once in a while try not to break it up. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
