This is an email from Batya Olson, who sent me her daughter’s recipe for Brussels sprouts. Simple and sounds delicious! May try it for Thanksgiving.  Thanx, Batya!


Found your website by chance, here’s my (and my daughter’s) favorite recipe for brussel sprouts:

Beige’s Brussels Sprouts with Walnuts and Onion

Remove the dark green leaves from the sprout until you reveal the soft light green one.s
Cut off excess tuber on bottom.
Cut in half (larger ones can be cut into quarters so that they are roughly the same size as the small halved sprouts).
Score sprout as if you were going to cut the sprout into quarters but only cut half way through (or just cut into quarters).
Boil for 3-4 minutes then drain.
Soak in warm salt bath 1 minute.
Slice up an onion from top to bottom to make long strips ¼ in wide.
Cover the bottom of a fry pan in a thin layer of garlic oil.
Combine the onion, sprouts, and about a cup of walnut pieces (not whole) in fry pan.
Fry for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.

Enjoy and be healthy!
