Truffle Oil Broccoli

Mom and I were chatting the other day about go-to vegetables.  Broccoli's at the top of the list.  When I was a kid it was normally the frozen variety.  Now that the fresh stalks are available year-round, we rarely buy frozen.  But, plain old steamed broccoli is a bit boring in my opinion.  Connie's too.  A few years ago, I tried a recipe for roasted broccoli.  It was just amazing.  So, we switched our allegiance to roasted.  Sometimes I toss it with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Sometimes just the olive oil.  Other times, I finish it with a bit of lemon juice, soy sauce and sesame seeds.  As I was reaching for the olive oil the other evening, I spied the white truffle oil.  Hmmm.  I wonder how that'd work?  Never know if you don't try.  I tossed the broccoli with a bit of white truffle oil and roasted it just like always.  When it came out of the oven, I sprinkled it with just a little bit of black truffle salt.  Heavenly!
