Serves: 6 person(s)

Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

In a medium saucepan bring 1 inch water to the boil. Add broccoli; return water to the 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.
