Not My Mother's Brussell Sprouts (this may be recipe 2)


Okay. I admit it. I'm getting forgetful. So, for the record, if I posted this recipe a few posts or so ago, this is the new improved or varied version.

Not My Mother's Brussel Sprouts

3 T butter (2 T & 1 T)
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tub brussel sprouts, rinsed, cleaned, halved
1 small package pecan halves
1/4 - 1/2 C dried cranberries

Steam brussel sprouts for 6-8 minutes and immediately remove from heat and drain.

In a nonstick fry pan, melt 2 T butter and cook the shallots until carmelized, over medium heat.
Remove the shallots, and in the same pan, melt 1 T butter and cook the pecan halves until you their woody scent just rises.
Add the brussel sprouts, return the onions to the pan and add the dried cranberries. Heat for another minute or two.
Serve! Yummy!
