Broccoli with Balsamic Butter

Ingredients

• 3 pounds broccoli, cut into large florets
• 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup minced shallot
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

1. Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water, and cook 7 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, bring vinegar and shallots to a boil; reduce heat, simmer 7 minutes or until vinegar is almost absorbed. Remove from heat; add butter, a few pieces at a time, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until butter melts and sauce thickens. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss with steamed broccoli.
3. Fix it Faster: Buy broccoli crowns to save a step in the kitchen.
