Ingredients

3 cups Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup walnut oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Trim any damaged leaves off the Brussels sprouts and trim the stem ends. Cut an X in the bottom of each sprout, then steam the sprouts in a vegetable steamer until crisp-tender.

In a medium mixing bowl combine the vinegar, maple syrup, shallots and mustard and whisk together. Let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in the oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

When the Brussels sprouts are steamed to desired doneness, toss with the vinaigrette and walnuts and serve immediately.

Made this for Christmas dinner and for those who were a little on the fence where brussels sprouts are concerned, this recipe... was the nudge needed to make them believers! Will make this again. Thanks Emeril!Read more

Didn't like it.........
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

because I like brussel sprouts, and this recipe covered up the flavor in a sugary taste (the maple syrup). The two tastes... just didn't mesh.Read more

Quick and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

When I saw Emeril prepare this on his show, I immediately checked to see if I had some sprouts on hand. Thought I did but I... was wrong. So after work the next day, I picked some up and made those wonderful nutty Brussels sprouts. They were just as good as I had expected. I will be making these again. Soon.Read more

Not bad
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

When it comes to brussels sprouts I'm like a kid. "EEEEEEWWWWWWWW" But my daughter was watching Emeril and he made this Nutty... Brussels Sprouts. She begged me to make it because its her all time favorite veggie. Now mind you she is only 7 years old. I made it, and it was not as bad as I thought. I'm not big on making brussels sprouts and limited to creating tastey sprouts but this was actually pretty good.Read more
