Cooking Directions

  1. Toast pine nuts (or almonds) in a medium dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
  2. Add oil to the pan and heat over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, adjusting heat as necessary, until soft and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, steam broccoli until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the nuts, onion, vinegar and pepper; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Broccoli's impressive nutritional profile (think folate, vitamins C and A, fiber, phytochemicals) puts it high on the list of foods to eat more of, an inviting task when you toss it with crunchy pine nuts, soft, sweet onions and tangy balsamic vinegar.

    The broccoli needed something sweet as one of the reviewers suggested. The red pepper was a good idea.

    I liked the way it jazzed up the broccoli taste. I will cook it again as it is healthy and easy. I microwaved the broccoli while I cooked the onions.

    I loved the concept of this dish, but I found the balsamic too acidic. I used Trader Joe's "Gold Quality Balsamic" I'll try again with some chopped raw red pepper for the sweetness and some color.
