Many vegan dishes (like fruit salad and peanut butter and jelly) are already beloved, but the problem faced by many of us is in imagining less-traditional dishes that are interesting and not challenging. Here is a creative way to do brussels sprouts with garlic and walnuts.
Ingredients
- Brussel sprouts
- Walnuts
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Bread
Preparation
- Cook a pound of halved brussels sprouts cut-side down in a skillet with oil and a little water or vegetable stock over medium heat, covered and undisturbed, until brown and tender, 20 to 30 minutes. (Check occasionally and lower the heat and/or add more water if the sprouts threaten to burn.)
- Put the sprouts in a serving bowl and drizzle with vinegar; set aside.
- Add a handful of chopped walnuts and a couple of cloves of minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes; add mixture to the brussels sprouts.
- Put a bit more oil and a smashed clove of garlic in the skillet, then add 2 slices of good bread, cut into cubes, and brown lightly. Toss croutons with sprouts and serve.
