I almost got my broccoli too "done". After steaming and then trying to let it absorb the liquid, it wasn't as crisp and green as I like it to be. So next time I'd just barely steam it so it is still nice and colorful and crisp. I absolutely love pine nuts, so loved the combination. Very nice and different broccoli recipe. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

This was really delicious. I used only 2 T vegan margarine, no oil, still nice and rich. It seemed like there was way too much liquid to be absorbed into the steamed broccoli and nuts, so I just simmered it for 5 min, but I thought it tasted better before simmering when the broccoli was crisper. Next time I would just stir in everything, heat through and eat. Very yummy blend of flavors.

Made this last night, it was indeed a different and tasty way to make broccoli. Very easy and didn't take long, maybe ten minutes. I will definitely make this again, thanks for sharing!

This was really good! I am not a great big fan of broccoli, but I was hungry for it so I made this with it. It was better than I thought it would be. I couldn't find my pine nuts so I had to omit them. I served it as a side dish to Recipe #243429. The 2 made for a nice meal. It was a great combination. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe Nyte. Made for PAC Spring '08.
