Brussels Sprouts Awesome

Posted on by Sam Boyd

This is the best damn brussels sprouts recipe that I have ever come up with.  It’s awesome.  I look at the picture and really just want to go make it again.

Ingredients:

1.  12oz shredded brussels sprouts

2.  4oz of chopped chicken or chopped turkey

3.  1/4 cup of pine nuts, untoasted is best

4.  2oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese (white is what I used)

5.  1 teaspoon of olive oil

Recipe:

1.  Fry up the lean ham and pull out of pan.

2.  Put pine nuts in pan with olive oil and cover for about 5 minutes, shaking the pan often to keep them moving.  The idea is to toast them so that you can get as much flavor out of them as possible.

3.  Add the brussels sprouts and some salt

4.  Cook the brussels sprouts until just wilty, not too much or they will get sulfurous and gross

5.  Take off heat and add the lean ham and toss

6.  Put onto two plates and top with 1oz of shredded cheddar cheese each serving.

This is designed to be a two serving dish.  Each serving will contain approximately 3 ounces of protein,  1.5 cups of vegetables.  Enjoy.
