Ingredients
- 230g pack Purple Sprouting Broccoli Spears
- 6 anchovy fillets
- 80g jarred sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tbsp nonpareille capers
- 200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- ½ x 25g pack basil, leaves torn
- 250g pack Merchant Gourmet Tomatoey Puy and Green Lentils
- 1 little gem lettuce, quartered and chopped into 1-2cm strips
Method
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cut the stems of the purple sprouting broccoli into 1-2cm lengths and the bigger florets into 2-3 pieces. Blanch for 2 minutes, drain and run under cold water, then drain again.
Meanwhile, on a board, chop together the anchovies and sun-dried tomatoes until almost a purée. Scrape into a mixing bowl and add 2 tbsp oil from the anchovy can or jar and 1 tbsp oil from the tomato jar. Stir in the capers, cherry tomatoes, most of the basil (reserving some whole leaves to serve) and the lentils, then add the blanched broccoli. Season, adding more anchovy or tomato oil if liked. Add the lettuce just before serving, then transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the remaining basil.
