Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

One of my favorite vegetables, brussel sprouts are often times over looked at the market. This is an easy way to prepare them and the combination of lemon and Pecorino gives them loads of flavor.

Instructions

FIRST Remove outer leaves of brussel sprouts and slice cross wise into thin slices to create small ribbons.

NEXT In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Sauté shallots for 6-7 minutes or until caramelized. Add brussel sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until sprouts are tender.

LAST Stir in lemon juice, cheese, and nuts; season with salt and pepper to taste.
