Broccoli Strascinati
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 Tbs raisins
- 1/2 Tbs brown sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 broccoli, cut into florets (about a pound)
- 2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 Tbs diced onion
- 2 Tbs sliced almonds for serving
Instructions
- Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 30 minutes, drain, and squeeze out excess water.
- Add brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic and onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add broccoli and raisin mixture, and stir to coat and dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and cook, half covered, about 30 minutes, or until broccoli is very soft. Add small amounts of water, if needed.
- Uncover and cook for 5 minutes more, or until almost all liquid has evaporated and the broccoli is slightly caramelized.
- Serve, garnished with sliced almonds.
