Ingredients
CANDIED WALNUTS:
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1 tablespoon butter
Salt
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked
2 tablespoons honey
Brussels Sprouts:
2 pints Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered depending on size
1 tablespoon canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
- To candy the walnuts:
- Toast the nuts in a saute pan over medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon salt. When the nuts start to take on a light golden color, add the rosemary and bloom for 1 more minute. Add the honey to the pan and remove from the heat.
- To roast the Brussels sprouts:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the canola oil, 1 teaspoon salt and pinch freshly ground black pepper. Lay out onto a sheet tray and roast for 10 to 12 minutes until they take color, but retain some texture. Remove from oven and set aside.
- To finish the dish:
- Saute the Granny Smith apple pieces in 1 tablespoon butter until they just take on color, about 2 minutes. Add the candied walnuts and roasted Brussels sprouts. Toss, and then add the juice of 1 lemon and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
