This is one of the recipes that I made for the first time and served over the weekend for our Easter dinner potluck. I failed at taking many useful pictures between multi-tasking in the kitchen and opening the door as guests arrive so I had to use the photo from the original recipe. I made a few tweaks like using coconut oil instead of olive oil and eliminating the barley and there was no lack in taste.
Ingredients:
1 lb. brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2/3 cup cranberries
1/3 cup pecans
1/3 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
What To Do:
1. Cook brussels sprouts and cranberries in coconut oil over medium heat for 8 minutes.
2. Add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup and cook for an additional 2 minutes before removing from heat.
3. Add the walnuts and stir well in pan or toss in a mixing bowl.
4. Top with crumbled gorgonzola.
4. Top with crumbled gorgonzola.
That's my blurry picture of the final product but I can attest that it was a delicious side to serve for any holiday dinner. Kerri loved it too! ;-)

I just recently started liking brussel sprouts (Christmas time when my SIL made them). I might be inclined to try this recipe since it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I'm always looking for new ways to do Brussel sprouts as it's not a favourite veggie of mine so I have to find ways to dress it up. This is wonderful !
ReplyDeleteI'm always a little nervous making brussel sprouts on my own, so I need to convince someone to make this recipe for me!! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteLooks like a delicious and healthy salad! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so yummy - I'm sure it was a holiday crowd pleaser!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious!!! I have used shaved brussels in salad but never cooked them before. I really need to try this!!! Random question, when you cook stuff with coconut oil...can you taste the coconut flavor at all?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so delicious! I love brussels and I love salads that incorporate fruit so I'm sold!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my fave recipes! I don't make it with barley either. Sometimes, I add bacon and cook the brussel sprouts in the same pan after, then don't use the maple syrup. Essentially, I love brussel sprouts with anything!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. Pinning!
