BROCCOLI AND BACON SURPRISE 
1 1/2 or 2 lb. broccoli
3 strips of bacon
1/2 c. bread crumbs
3 tbsp. oil
1/2 c. minced onion
1 clove garlic minced
Salt and pepper

Trim broccoli and leave some of the stem. Place in wire basket and plunge into broiling salted water. Cook until tender, drain and set aside. In the same skillet saute bread crumbs in bacon drippings until browned. Remove and set aside. Put 3 tbsp. oil in the skillet and add onion and garlic. Saute until translucent (may be made ahead at this point). Add broccoli to the skillet with onion and garlic, gently tossing until heated through. Add bread crumbs and bacon, adjust seasoning. Mix lightly and serve immediately.
