But today, I’m sharing a sneak peek the whole recipe with you to get you thinking about holiday veggies.
Foodblog-4222

This recipe features Brussels sprouts, shiitake mushrooms (my fav!) and toasted hazelnuts.

Foodblog-4148

Plus a simple sauce made from Bolthouse Farms’ Orange+Carrot juice. A great way to pack in tons of vitamins A and C!

Foodblog-4151

To get started, chop up your hazelnuts and sprouts –

Foodblog-4154

In a skillet set to medium heat, toast hazelnuts for about 5 minutes, until they are fragrant and begin to brown.

Foodblog-4160

Set them aside for later.

Foodblog-4166

Add one tablespoon of butter to pan (I always cook mushrooms in butter – ‘shrooms + butter are a match made in heaven!)

Foodblog-4167

Still on medium heat, add sliced shiitake mushrooms along with a pinch of salt.

Foodblog-4169

Foodblog-4175

Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms are brown. Remove and set aside.

Foodblog-4177

Add trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts to pan along with a half cup of water. I hate it when Brussels aren’t cooked in the middle, so I like to either steam-sauté them this way or roast them in the oven to ensure they get cooked all the way through.

Foodblog-4194

Allow sprouts to simmer in the water, adding more a half cup at a time. After 10-15 minutes, when sprouts are fork-tender and cooked through, drain any remaining water, if necessary. Season with salt.

Add back your mushrooms –

Foodblog-4199

Add juice…

Foodblog-4205

And allow it to bubble and reduce.

Foodblog-4208

Continue stirring and cook until juice is mostly reduced, about 5 minutes.

Foodblog-4212

Transfer to serving bowl or plates and top with hazelnuts. Dream up even more toppings – like some creamy goat cheese, dried cranberries or a different juice – and make it your own!

    I’ll be making this on Christmas instead of a winter mixed green salad! I can make it ahead of time & then just warm while the rest of the food finishes. Thank you, Kath!

    Carrot juice instead of water to a satay! Cool stuff, Kath! I guess both could work but carrot juice would contain more nutrients as well as give it a carrot-y flavour without adding the carrots. Looks like a secret weapon to get kids to eat their veggies!

    So many of my favorite things in one dish! I LOVE toasted hazelnuts and shiitakes are my favorite type of mushroom. Not to mention how much I like Brussels sprouts! Perfect side dish.

    My favorite holiday spin on Brussels is to saute them with cranberries and balsamic and then add gorgonzola at the end. It looks so Christmasy!

    I only ever made Brussels sprouts once. I just trimmed, chopped, and boiled them. They were mushy and disgusting and I never thought I’d try them again. However, this recipe looks pretty amazing and I’m betting with all the other flavors it would be pretty dynamite. Plus I like the idea of doing a sauté on the sprouts so they have more texture and less mush!

      I almost always halve the brussels sprouts and roast them in the oven. They cook pretty quickly and I take them out while they’re still a little crunchy. I hate veggies that have been cooked to mush. The best is to toss the sprouts in olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

    A trick I’ve learned working in commercial kitchens – blanch the whole brussels sprout in boiling water, then cut in half (or quarter) before searing. They end up crisper and fully cooked in less time.
    Bacon, blue cheese & pecans are a favorite addition to our brussels sprouts.

      Good lord, that sounds amazing (the bacon, blue cheese & pecan mix…). I like my brussels nice and crispy as well. My mom overcooked veggies for years, and I can’t handle anything soggy.

    Everything about this recipe sounds delicious and it’s packed full of nutrients! I love hazelnuts..I just roasted some this past weekend for a superfood trail mix. I really enjoy the added flavor roasting the nuts adds to them!

    I love how quick and easy this recipe is to throw together. Brussels sprouts and citrus is one of my favorite combinations so this is definitely being added to my list of recipes to make! Pinned 🙂

    I have to admit that the thought of orange and Brussels sprouts do sound very odd…BUT the pics looks amazing so I think it’s worth a try! I actually made some Brussels sprouts tonight and added some fresh dill (it’s either that or curry powder). It;s the only way I’ve been eating them…however, as soon as I get sick of the recipe I’ll try this one, lol!
