Yield: 6 x 1 cup servings

Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

4 cup broccoli florets, fresh or frozen (16 oz)
3 bacon slices, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (10 oz)

Directions:

In a medium saucepan bring 1 inch of water to a boil (can add a steamer insert). Add broccoli; return water to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer covered until crisp-tender (approx 3 minutes); set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until nearly crisp (about 4 minutes). Add onion, stirring frequently, until the onion is crisp tender and the bacon is crisp (approx 4 minutes).

Stir in vinegar and cook until vinegar is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, salt and broccoli; toss to coat. Serve immediately while warm.
