here's an easy delicious gourmet side dish
STEAMED BROCCOLI WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS & TRUFFLE OIL
this is a very elegant and simple side dish that is very flavorful and so
easy to prepare
Fresh Broccoli, cut into florets and steamed al dente
Butter
Kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Pine nuts, toasted

Peel the stems of the broccoli and cut into matchstick pieces. Steam the
broccoli and the matchstick pieces until tender crisp, remove from heat,
drain well. Add a small amount of butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Plate up on individual plates, sprinkling with toasted pine nuts and
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Drizzle with white truffle oil and serve.
