  • 1/4 teaspon salt, or to taste
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar [lemon juice or ume plum vinegar]
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
How to make it:
  1. Toast pine nuts (or almonds) in a medium dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a small bowl to cool.
  3. Add oil to the pan and heat over medium heat.
  4. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, adjusting heat as necessary, until soft and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, steam broccoli until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a large bowl.
  7. Add the nuts, onion, vinegar and pepper; toss to coat.
