Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon salt, optional
- 1 head broccoli, trimmed and separated into spears
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced (with or
  without seeds, depending on desired hotness)
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- Few sprigs fresh coriander or parsley, chopped

Directions

Bring a pot of water to the boil and add optional salt.
Add the  broccoli spears and boil over high heat for
3 to 5 minutes (depending on desired tenderness).

Drain and transfer broccoli to bowl of ice cold water for
30 seconds. Drain and lay out the cooked spears decoratively
on a presentation plate. Drizzle evenly with balsamic vinegar.

In a small frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat for
30 seconds. Add sliced jalapeno peppers (with seeds, if
using) and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.

Take peppers with all the oil from the pan, and distribute
evenly over the broccoli. Garnish with pine nuts and herbs.
