Ingredients

4          cups broccoli flourettes, fresh or frozen
3          slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
3/4        cup finely chopped onion
2          tablespoons raspberry or balsamic vinegar
8          ounces (about 21/2 cups) white button mushrooms, sliced

Directions

In a medium saucepan bring 1-inch water to a boil. Add broccoli; return water to a boil; reduce heat, simmer covered until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes; set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat cook bacon until nearly crisp and most of the fat is rendered out, about 4 minutes. Add onion, cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is crisp-tender and the bacon is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in vinegar; cook and stir until vinegar is reduced by half, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, salt and reserved broccoli; toss to coat. Serve immediately while slightly warm.
