Broccoli with Caramelized Shallots

Makes 4 servings 

Preparation Time: 5 to 10 minutes

Ingredients: 

- 2 tablespoons walnut pieces 

- 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 

- 1 cup sliced shallots, thinly sliced (4-5 large shallots) 

- salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste 

- 1 bunch broccoli (1 1/2 lbs.), cut into florets (5 cups)

Instructions for making:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place 2 tbsp. walnuts in a pie plate and toast in the oven 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. 

2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tsp olive oil over medium-low heat. Add 1 cup sliced shallots and cook, stirring often, to a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. (Add a tbsp. or two of water if the mixture gets too dry.) Season with salt and pepper; set aside in the skillet. 

3. Meanwhile, cook 1 bunch broccoli in boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the broccoli and add it to the shallots in the skillet and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts. 

4. Serve hot or at room temperature.
