Sauted Brussel Sprouts with Walnuts and Dried Cherries


This was another of the lost boys of recipes from last year.  This was a new recipe I tried for Thanksgiving.  I like to add a new recipe or two every year.  This year I was trying Brussels sprouts on my guest.  Brussels sprouts get a bad rap.  Everyone thinks they are little cabbages.  Cooked well they are very enjoyable and good for you. 
These were so good. A nice addition to our Thanksgiving meal.
Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for this recipe.  You can usually find them in the produce section.
Rough chop 3/4 cup walnuts.
Lightly toast them in the oven.  Place them in a 350 oven for 5-6 minutes.  Shake the pan a time or two.  You don't want the to get too brown.
Put 3 Tablespoons butter in a skillet to melt.
Get your mandolin our and use it to slice your Brussels sprouts.Use the guard.  No one has time for an ER visit on the holiday.
Measure out 2/3 cup dried cherries
Rough chop them
Here's your sliced sprouts.
You have melted the butter.
Add the sprouts to the butter and cook and stir for about 10 minutes until they are tender.
They are looking good.  A little brown on the ends.
Add the toasted walnuts to the sprouts.
Add the cherries
Mix them well.  Add some salt and pepper to taste.
