This is now my favorite broccoli side. I am not the biggest cooked broccoli fan and DH and I both enjoyed this. I couldn't find tomatoes with balsamic vinegar so I used tomatoes with olive oil, basil and oregano and added a splash of balsamic. We also tried some with a bit of parmesan sprinkled on it and it was very good! Thanks for this one! Made for PAC Fall 2008
