Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Brussels Sprouts

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups Brussels sprouts
1 cup chestnuts, peeled
1 large oranges, peeled and segmented
½ cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Trim each sprout by cutting a little piece off the bottom. With a small paring knife, make an X in the top of the sprout. Repeat with all sprouts and place in steamer over 2 inches of boiling water. Steam the sprouts covered for about 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Remove sprouts from pot and allow to cool. Cut each sprout in half and place in a casserole dish. Layer the chestnuts on top of the sprouts. Place the oranges on top of the chestnuts. If using whole roasted chestnuts, follow instructions in step 4
  • Add the broth and pour over all ingredients. Drizzle the casserole with oil. Grind in pepper and salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until oranges are soft.
  • To roast whole chestnuts: Mark an X on the rounded side of each chestnut with a pairing knife. Place all the chestnuts on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until soft. Let cool. Peel, trying to keep the chestnuts as whole as possible.

The Brussels sprouts were a bit overcooked, but the chestnuts were delicious. I would recommend roasting the sprouts for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer chestnuts. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of Brussels sprouts, but I loved this dish. The chestnuts added a sweetness that really balanced out the bitterness of the sprouts. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts and chestnuts. I had some leftover from Thanksgiving dinner and this was the perfect way to use them up. The dish was delicious and easy to make.
