Pork Strips With Broccoli & Carrots
Italian and Chinese culinary paths draw close in this colourful dish
Ingredients (Serves 4 to 6)
| 1 | bunch broccoli, about 1-1/2 lb |
| 1 lb | pork loin, cut into strips |
| 2 tbsp | flour |
| 3 tbsp | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 2 tsp | chopped garlic |
| 4 | medium carrots, cut into matchsticks |
| 3 | flat anchovy fillets, chopped finely |
| 1/3 cup | dry white wine |
Instructions
- Detach the largest stems of the broccoli. Using a sharp paring knife, remove dark green rind, exposing the tender, paler core. Cut them into sticks about 1/2-inch thick and 2-inches long. You should get about 1-1/2 cups. Soak briefly in cold water and drain well. (Reserve florets for later use.)
- Put pork strips in a bowl, pour flour over them, and turn to coat evenly.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring frequently, until tiny bubbles appear and garlic is fragrant.
- Increase heat to high, add pork, and brown both sides. Add broccoli and carrot sticks, and turn to coat well. Add anchovies and wine. Let wine bubble a few seconds, briskly stir, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender. To keep food from sticking to pan, add up to 3 tablespoons of water whenever necessary. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a warm platter to serve.
