Very tasty broccoli without a heavy sauce. Loved the flavor combination. I thought it was just a bit too sour, so I added about a 1/2 tsp of sugar and tossed it in. That really did the trick. I'll definitely make this again with the addition of the sugar. Thanx for posting this recipe!

Everyone else in our household will only eat Broccoli with cheese sauce wish i am not a fan of. But i seemed to get away with this recipe that i really enjoyed. Its a great way to enjoy vegetables with out the fat filled cheese sauce.
