Broccoli with Caesar Dressing

Caesar dressing usually features a raw egg, along with plenty of oil.  To avoid
fat, not to mention potentially harmful bacteria, we based our version on
tofu thinned with chicken broth.  A bonus:  The tofu provides a boost of protein,
not pure fat.  It is also a good salad dressing for greens.

1 pound broccoli florets

1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
2 anchovy fillets, or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste

4 minutes; drain.  Rinse under cold running water; drain thoroughly.  Transfer
