Brown Sugar Sprouts With Cranberries & Walnuts [RECIPE]

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 ½ Pounds Brussels Sprouts

1/3 Cup Raw Walnuts, Chopped

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Kosher Salt

Black Pepper

½ Cup Vegetable Stock

1 ½ Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Dried Cranberries

Preparation

1. Cut the stem end off each Brussels sprout. Remove and discard any bruised or damaged outer leaves. Cut large sprouts in quarters and smaller sprouts in half.

2. If you purchased whole walnuts, roughly chop them to measure the indicated amount.

Directions

1. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and warm.

2. Once oil is warm, add the Brussels sprouts. Season with salt and pepper, then saute until they start to caramelize, about 7-10 minutes. Stir often.

3. Once sprouts start to caramelize, pour in the veggie stock. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, then cook until sprouts are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 3-4 minutes. Continue to stir often.

4. Once sprouts are tender and liquid is absorbed, remove the foil and stir in the butter, brown sugar, walnuts and dried cranberries. Cook until butter is melted and the brown sugar has made a nice glaze over the sprouts. Stir often, then remove from heat.

5. Transfer the brown sugar sprouts with cranberries and walnuts to a serving dish or dinner plates. Serve warm!
