1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
2 pounds brussel sprouts
2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries soaked in hot water for 20 minutes OR 1/2 cup fresh chopped cranberries
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
salt & pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toast the hazelnuts on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes, turning several times. Remove the bottom of the brussel sprouts (along with any discolored leaves) and make a cross on the bottom. Soak brussel sprouts in slightly salty water for 10 minutes (I skip this step frequently). Steam brussel sprouts for 8 minutes. Then rinse with cold water. Cut brussel sprouts into bit-sized portions, if desiered. Melt butter (or oil) in skillet and cook brussel sprouts for 3 minutes. Mix in honey, mustard, cranberries, nut, salt & pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes.
