  • Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
2 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice1 small shallot1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar1/4 tsp Dijon mustard3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oilkosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1 - 1 1/4 lb broccoli crowns, cut into 1-inch florets, stems sliced 1/4-inch thick
Directions
1) Make the vinaigrette. In a small saucepan over medium-heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a dish lined with paper towels, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the shallot to the bacon fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp of the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan with a spoon to dissolve the browned bits. Off the heat, stir in the remaining 1/2 Tbsp vinegar, the lemon juice, and the mustard. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Steam the broccoli until just tender and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with cooked bacon bits.
