A hint of orange and a sprinkle of toasted walnuts is all you need to liven up a dish of Brussels sprouts.

Ingredients:

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon orange zest (see note)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Place Brussels sprouts in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam about 12 minutes or until tender.

Place steamed Brussels spouts and orange juice in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Toast walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add walnuts and grated orange zest and gently toss. Season with black pepper.

I love Brussels sprouts - my husband does not. But he said he'd eat these again. High praise! The orange juice is sweet, and the walnuts crunchy, nice additions. I try to choose the smaller more mild and tender Brussels sprouts at my Farmers Market. Pat Kennedy

I didn't have oranges so I used clementines and wasn't really able to get enough zest from them. Nonetheless, the dish turned out well enough to try again when I do have oranges on hand. It's a nice way to prepare Brussels sprouts.

If you feel the need to eat some Brussels Sprouts, this is not too bad a way to prep them. I am not a fan of this vegetable, but will eat them on occasion for the health benefit. I found that adding some Creamy Cashew Salad Dressing and Bensons Table Tasty helps make them go down easier.

This recipe has won me over to eating Brussels sprouts. The sweeten of the orange juice compliments the bitter of the sprouts nicely.

Fast and easy to prepare and serve, I made this tonight and served it with a yummy butternut squash over arugula dish and leftover yellow split pea soup. It was a great combination. Brussel sprouts are probably no one's favorite vegetable, but this recipe gives them a "gentle" taste that blends well with other dishes. Give it a try!

 They are one of my favorite vegetables. Sometimes I have a craving for them and eat them plain. Just sayin... ??

I enjoyed this! I think I will try using fresh orange juice on broccli next. The nuts were a nice addition.
