I've made this many times as a hurry-up side dish. When trying to figure out which region this recipe represented, I finally closed my eyes & picked one. Italian? Well, the word broccoli does come from the Italian brocco meaning arm branch so it kind of fits. Enjoy! Ingredients:
8 -10 slices lean bacon (to lower fat use turkey bacon) |
20 ounces fresh broccoli florets or 20 ounces frozen broccoli florets |
1 carrots, grated or 1/2 cup matchstick carrot |
1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in microwave until crisp. (I've used pre-cooked & packaged bacon in a pinch).
2. Cook broccoli in microwave until crisp tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain.
3. In a large bowl, toss drained broccoli, carrot & onion.
4. In a glass bowl or measuring cup, combine vinegar, sugar & oil. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes then pour over vegetable mixture. Toss to coat.
5. Add salt & pepper to taste.
6. Serve arm or chilled (I prefer warm.).
7. Crumble bacon over top when ready to serve.
