Description

A tasty recipe that uses local ingredients - and will convert even sprout haters!

Ingredients

  • 4
    c
    brussels sprouts
  • 4
    T
    white wine or apple cider vinegar
  • 3
    T
    honey
  • 1
    T
    dijon mustard
  • 1⁄2
    c
    walnut or vegetable oil
  • 1
    c
    walnuts, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Remove a couple of outer leaves and cut an "x" in the bottom of each Brussels sprout (it will ensure that they cook evenly).  Steam until tender, 5-7 minutes.  (Do not overcook - mushy sprouts are how they got such a bad rep!)  Whisk vinegar, honey, mustard, oil and salt & pepper to taste in a large bowl.  Toss in the hot Brussels sprouts and walnuts.  Serve warm or chill overnight.
