"Brussels sprouts are misunderstood - probably because most people don't know how to cook them properly." -Todd English
The refrigerator light goes on...
Brussels sprouts make the perfect holiday side dish. You can roast them, steam them, shred them or simply half or quarter them.
There are tons of options but they make a great vehicle for other flavors. Because they are a bit bitter something sweet or salty. For this recipe the cranberries are the perfect counterpoint to the brussels sprouts and the toasted pine nuts bring a creamy, savory flavor. Simple to make and you can pop it in and out of the oven without a lot of distraction during your holiday meal.
