Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts
- 1/2 cup California walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, small, trimmed and halved
- 1 teaspoon fresh, grated ginger
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Serves: 5
Place walnuts in a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from skillet and set aside. Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts and ginger and cook for 5 minutes or until sprouts are lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes more (depending on size) or until sprouts are tender and nicely glazed with sauce. Toss with walnuts.
Honey and chili add a kick of unexpected flavor to the notably earthy, bitter flavor of Brussels sprouts in this recipe.
