Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup walnuts
2 lb. brussels sprouts
8 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp. walnut oil or 1 1/2 tsp. sesame oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Using a paring knife, remove cores from brussels sprouts through stem ends; discard. Peel off leaves all the way down to the very center.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add a quarter of the brussels sprout leaves and cook, tossing once or twice, until bright green and deeply charred in spots, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a platter. Repeat process 3 more times with remaining brussels sprouts and olive oil.
  • Finely grate lemon zest over brussels sprouts, then squeeze juice on top. Scatter walnuts over and drizzle with walnut oil. Finish with a few cranks of pepper.
  • Do Ahead
  • Brussels sprouts can be cored and leaves separated 3 days ahead. Wrap in damp paper towels and store in resealable plastic bags; chill.
