Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and add the Brussels sprouts. Cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the sprouts in 1 layer and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and when melted, add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sprouts, and stir well to coat and warm through.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve immediately.

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.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts. Thinly slice them with a knife or use the slicing attachment on your food processor to shred them.
• Add the bacon to a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined-plate and reserve.
• Add the shallot to the hot pan and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts by the handful, stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Saute the sprouts, tossing until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the walnuts and cook for 1 minute more to toast. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth, stirring until the liquid is reduced and the Brussels sprouts are soft. Stir in the cooked bacon. Serve hot.

FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH WALNUTS AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a medium pot so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
• While the oil is heating, whisk together the garlic, anchovies, serrano, red wine vinegar, honey, scallions, walnuts and extra-virgin olive oil in a bowl large enough to toss all of the Brussels sprouts. Keep the bowl near the stovetop.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the Brussels sprouts until the edges begin to curl and brown, about 3 minutes. To the last batch, add the parsley and capers (stand back-the capers will pop and sputter!). Give the contents of the pot a stir. When the color of the parsley becomes a deeper, more saturated shade of green, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove the contents of the pot with a skimmer and place directly in the bowl of dressing. Toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large, heavy skillet. Put the shallots or onions into the pan, sprinkle with the sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the fennel and continue cooking 5 minutes.
• Combine the walnuts with the broth in a small pan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the mixture is syrupy.
• Add to the shallots (or onions) and fennel along with the sprouts and remaining tablespoon butter. Stir over medium-low heat until the sprouts are heated through.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wash and then peel off any loose or damaged leaves from the sprouts. Trim the root end and cut each sprout in half.
• Cook the bacon, shallots, cranberries and walnuts in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until bacon just begins to crisp, shallots are translucent, and walnuts are toasted, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the bacon drippings and season with salt and pepper, toss until sprouts are coated. If necessary, add a shot of olive oil to make sure the sprouts are coated.
• Put the pan in the oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for about 30 minutes, add the bacon mixture and continue to roast until the sprouts are cooked through and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes more. The time may vary based on the size of your sprouts, please watch then carefully. When done, they should be tender and golden brown.
• Before serving, top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (optional).
