I adore roasted vegetables. Not only are they really tasty, but it takes very little effort to make them. The trouble is, I get bored with the same food prepared the same way over and over. This month, when I received my shipment from Devo Olive Oil and tasted the Peach Balsamic Vinegar, I knew I wanted to pair it with a vegetable.
If you are one of those folks, like my husband, who does not like warm fruit with savory things, I am afraid this recipe is not for you. I hope to see you on my next post. However, if you are still around, this is a unique treatment for roasted broccoli or any vegetable for that matter.
I roasted some peaches right in with the broccoli florets. They added a bit more sweet flavor to the dish. The sauce is butter, peach puree, garlic, peach balsamic vinegar and an optional sprinkling of herbs. Wowza! What a zippy sauce to end my broccoli boredom.
