Broccoli with Garlic Butter and Cashews

By thegreatpablo

"A new recipe a neighbor gave us. What a hit with my family. Just the right mixture of garlic and cashews with our favorite side dish, broccoli. And, so very easy to make! If in a pinch, you could probably use frozen broccoli too, but I haven't tried it."

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds fresh broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup chopped salted cashews

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the broccoli into a large pot with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. Bring to a boil and cook for 7 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Drain and arrange broccoli on a serving platter.

2. While the broccoli is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, and garlic. Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Mix in the cashews and pour sauce over broccoli. Serve immediately.
