From Womans World magazine Feb 2010. They say Toasted pine nuts, sauteed shallots and a splash of white balsamic vinegar lend irrestible taste to this good-for-you vegetable dish that's cholesterol free! I haven't made this but I want it in my cookbook so I'm posting it to share. Ingredients:
1/4 cup pine nuts |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 shallots, thinly sliced (1/2 cup) |
1 1/2 lbs broccolini (3 bunches, or you can use broccoli florets instead) |
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat large dry skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet; reserve.
2. To same skillet add oil and shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add broccolini (or broccoli); cook until just tender, 5 minutes. Drain well; add to shallot mixture.
4. Stir in vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vinegar is reduced and flavors have blended, 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat; stir in reserved pine nuts.
