Method
- Wash the broccoli and dry it thoroughly, cut the florets from the stems, trimming away as much stem as possible, and put the florets in a large bowl.
- Blend the lemon juice, lemon zest, cottage cheese, olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, sea salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli and toss until the florets are well coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over low heat, sauté the mashed garlic for about one minute, then add the panko breadcrumbs and lemon zest and stir for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden. Season with the pinch of sea salt and take the pan off the heat.
- Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano over the dressed broccoli, scatter the warm breadcrumbs on top, toss once, and serve.
