This was one of those dishes that just happened. I needed to use the bacon I had in the fridge and the broccoli in my fruit/veg bowl was staring me in the face. Its pretty delicious and not greasy at all. Adding he bacon last helps this.

2 heads of broccoli

4-6 pieces of bacon

1 cup of beef broth (use water if you dont have)

- Fry the bacon in a large frying pan until its crispy  – dont over cook! Set aside on paper towels to remove grease

- Cut the broccoli heads in florets. Poor grease out of the frying pan and place florets in on medium heat. Pour in a cup of beef broth and place lid ontop. Steam broccoli for 10 minutes.

- While broccoli is steaming, cut bacon into large pieces and set aside.

- Drain broccoli and toss in a bowl with bacon pieces.
