Steps

20 mins

1

Note: To get rid of the bitter taste of Brussels sprouts parboil them for about 30 seconds or brine them in slightly salted for about 10 minutes just before you cook them.
2

Bring a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Blanch your Brussels sprouts for 30 seconds, drain,cool and dry thoroughly.
3

Slice the Brussels sprouts using the thinnest slicing disk of a food processor. You can also slice them thinly with a knife or a mandolin.
4

Heat sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the pecans/walnuts. Cook, stirring continually, until the nuts just start to darken in color and begin to give off a toasted aroma, approximately 2 minutes.
5

Add the butter to the pan and stir to combine.
6

Once the butter has melted, add the Brussels sprouts, salt and pepper and cook, stirring continually and the sprouts are just tender, approximately 3-5 minutes.
7

Remove the pan from the heat; add the cranberries, toss and serve.
