Roasted Brussels Sprouts And Grapes With Walnuts Food

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND GRAPES WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. On 2 rimmed baking sheets, toss Brussels sprouts and grapes with oil and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, until caramelized and tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drizzle each tray with 1 teaspoon vinegar and scrape up any caramelized bits with a wooden spoon. Toss in walnuts.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GRAPES

Steps:

• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapes and thyme and cook, tossing, until the grapes start to burst, about 4 minutes. Add the scallions and honey. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the juices thicken and the grapes are glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish; spoon the grapes over the top and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GRAPES AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Trim the Brussels sprouts of any dry ends and loose leaves, then halve. Place halved sprouts along with grapes and walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Turn some of the cut sides down. (I line my sheet with foil for quick clean up.) Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top, sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the sprouts are well-browned in places, the nuts are fully toasted and the grapes are darkened in color and very plump.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the oven drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the contents of the pan and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with a little additional sea salt, if desired.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS SAUTéED WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• Trim off and discard the ends of the brussels sprouts. Pull off the darker outer leaves. Cut larger brussels sprouts in half or quarters, leaving only the smallest, tenderest sprouts whole. You want all the sprouts or cut sprouts to be about the same size so they cook evenly. Set aside the trimmed, prepped sprouts.
• Heat a large frying pan or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts to the dry, hot pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they're starting to toast, about 3 minutes. They will continue toasting after you take them off the heat, so remove them before they're as dark as you'd like them. Transfer the walnuts to a dish and set aside.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter or heat the oil. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the butter or oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to a gentle but steady simmer and cook, undisturbed, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and tender almost all the way through, 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the sprouts.
• Uncover and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. The water should all be evaporated at that point as well. Add the walnuts and stir to combine.
• Transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle with walnut oil, if you like. Serve hot or warm. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm for up to an hour, if desired. If holding warm, wait until serving to drizzle on the walnut oil.
