Citrusy sautéed brussels sprouts with walnuts is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the subtle bitterness of brussels sprouts with the zesty freshness of orange and the earthy crunch of walnuts. This recipe is perfect as a side dish or a light main course, adding vibrant flavors and textures to your meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Orange: Zest the orange, then cut it in half and juice it. Set the zest and juice aside separately.
- Shallot: Peel and finely chop the shallot.
- Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends, remove any yellow or damaged leaves, then cut them in half lengthwise.
- Walnuts: Roughly chop the walnuts.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped shallot. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the shallot becomes soft and translucent.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the halved brussels sprouts to the skillet. Spread them out into an even layer, cut side down. Let them cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are nicely browned.
- Once the brussels sprouts are browned, sprinkle them with the salt and black pepper. Give them a good stir to mix in the seasonings.
- Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are tender but still have a bit of bite.
- Pour in the orange juice and add the orange zest to the skillet. Stir well to coat the brussels sprouts evenly.
- Add the chopped walnuts, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the walnuts are heated through and the orange juice has slightly reduced to form a light glaze.
- Transfer the citrusy sautéed brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
- Optionally, garnish with additional orange zest or freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, make sure to halve the brussels sprouts uniformly.
- Toast the walnuts beforehand to enhance their flavor and add extra crunch to the dish.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for a more pronounced citrus flavor.
- Feel free to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an added layer of flavor.
- For a bit of extra heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
