Sauteed Brussels Sprouts With Pinion Nuts image

Terri has done the impossible... She's made Brussels sprouts impossibly good! Brussels sprouts have a natural savory flavor. Cooking them and the onions until caramelized adds a sweetness to the side dish. Pinion nuts (or pine nuts) add a buttery flavor. Serve these as a side dish and you'll covert anyone to a Brussels sprouts fan.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package(s) Brussels sprouts, chopped
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1/3 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup(s) pinon nuts or other
1-2 dash(es) salt and pepper
1 teaspoon(s) onion powder

Steps:

  • Start by sautéing the chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until clear.
  • Quarter the Brussels sprouts and add them to the skillet with 1 additional tablespoon of olive oil (they can be bought frozen and thawed, from your own garden-fresh, or frozen and thawed).
  • Add the seasonings. Let this sauté until edges of Brussels sprouts start to brown stirring frequently to keep from sticking.
  • Add the pinion (or other locally available nuts and the final tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Continue cooking over medium heat until Brussels sprouts are tender, about 20 minutes total. Remove from heat and serve warm with a meat dish of your choice...I often use lamb chops with this dish.
