Thanksgiving Feast - Dinner - Cashew Broccoli

Our side dishes change all the time for this meal.  We like variety with our tradition.  The next posts will be a few of our favorites.

Cashew Broccoli

1.5 lbs fresh broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces (frozen would work, just thaw it out ahead of time)
1/3 c butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp white vinegar (or rice wine vinegar)
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 c chopped cashews (I've used mixed nuts and it was just as good)

1. Boil broccoli until tender but crisp. It takes about 7 minutes.
2. Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat.
3. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper and garlic.
4. Bring to a boil then remove from heat.
5. Add nuts.
6. Pour mixture over broccoli and stir.
7. Serve immediately.
