Pan-seared brussels sprouts with cranberries & pecans, part 2

by Don  

This time I'm cutting the recipe down to about half.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

  • 12 oz frozen brussels sprouts, thawed and halved
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup pecans
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Method

  1. Soak cranberries in just-boiled water for five minutes. Drain.
  2. Heat brussels sprouts, cranberries, and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Toss with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar until sprouts are coated.
  4. Toss in feta and pecans

Turned out fine. I would repeat this for guests who like cruciferous vegetables. The sprouts still have some bitterness to them.
