Brussels Sprouts with Apples
This is a perfect side dish for holiday meals, but we also think it will also convert the Brussels nay-sayers with its sweet, a little tart, and all-around deliciousness.
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (eg olive, canola) for sautéeing
- 1 lbs. Brussels Sprouts stems trimmed, remove outer leaves, and cut in half
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 medium or large apple (any variety), diced
- 3 tbsp dried cranberries
- 3 tbsp walnuts, chopped
- Splash of balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper
In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add Brussels sprouts, cut side down, and fry until golden.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add the diced apple and cook until tender.
Stir in the walnuts and cranberries, and cook until fragrant and the cranberries are plump.
Deglaze the pan with a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy!
