CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECANS



Caramelized Brussels Sprouts With Pecans image

From the Voluptuous Vegan. Sounds delicious. I'll probably be trying this real soon, so I'll have an update for anyone who's interested. A 1/4 pound of bruseel sprouts is considered to be 20 small or 10 large. The cookbook gives you a choice with the pearl onions that I could not include in the list of ingredients, and that is you could use red pearl onions.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup pecan halves
1/4 lb Brussels sprout
2 ounces white pearl onions, tip and root ends cut off

  • Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any wilted or damaged leaves.
  • Slice the Brussels sprouts: Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, lengthwise or crosswise, depending on the desired size.
  • Caramelize the onions: Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts: Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the onions and cook until they are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Add the bacon (optional): If using bacon, cook it until it is crispy and then crumble it.
  • Add the pecans (optional): If using pecans, toast them in a dry skillet until they are fragrant and then chop them.
