A lot of kids don't like broccoli.

This recipe from Andrea Reusing dresses up this lovely brassica with a hit on the grill, buttery mustard breadcrumbs, garlic, anchovies, lemon zest, and chile flakes. It's ready in a jiffy and is the perfect antidote to the all-Taco Bell diet that you've been chowing down on this week.
