Ingredients

1 Half Stick of LAND O LAKES® Butter (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped shallots or onion
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons olive oil
7 cups broccoli florets
1 medium (1 cup) red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed, if desired

Directions

Melt butter in 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly and watching closely, until butter just starts to turn golden brown (4 to 6 minutes). (Butter will get foamy and bubble.) Remove from heat; stir in shallots, garlic and vinegar. Set aside.

Place all remaining ingredients except water and sesame seed in 12-inch deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add water; reduce heat to medium. Cover; continue cooking until broccoli is crisply tender (4 to 5 minutes). Remove from heat.

Stir browned butter mixture into broccoli. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seed, if desired.

Recipe Tip

Toasted sesame seed can be found in the ethnic (Asian) aisle of the supermarket. To toast your own, place seeds in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F. for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

I thought for a vegetable dish this one was a bit involved. I didn't think that the recipe had any sort of "nutty" flavor from the browned butter, a product that I have worked with in the past. In the future I would skip this and opt for a simpler stir fry.

Looks beautiful among all the bland-looking dishes usually served on Thanksgiving, and more important, tastes wonderful too. The butter-and-balsamic combo is knockout!

Make Ahead Stuffed Pasta Shells

My son Kyle’s senior year of college football is in full swing. Because he is living off-campus this year I knew I would be getting more than one last minute phone call asking if some of his teammates and he could come over for dinner. I wanted to be prepared so I decided I needed to stock my freezer with some easy-to-get-on-the-table entrees. Pasta is always a hit so I went to work preparing Stuffed Pasta Shells to have on hand for the “can we come over for dinner” request.
