Ingredients
  • 2-3 cups fresh brussels sprouts, sliced in half
  • ½ cup pecans, roast them in the oven
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced (I like red onion)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (according to your taste, more or less of this)
  • olive oil for sauteing
  • splash of brown sugar
  • splash of lemon juice
  • sprinkle of pecorino or fresh parmesan cheese, finely grated
Instructions
  1. Wash and slice the brussels sprouts. If the stems are too long or tough, trim them off.
  2. Put them in a skillet on low with a little olive oil. Turn the flat sides down to brown them.
  3. In a separate oiled skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook on low heat until tender.
  4. When onions are tender and slightly browned, add a sprinkle of apple cider vinegar to finished the sizzling, caramelizing effect.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the pecan on a pan in the oven for about 5 mins.
  6. When the brussels sprouts become a bright green, add the caramelized onions.
  7. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, the honey. Stir together and then add the rest of the apple cider vinegar. Stir vigorously until the sizzle goes down.
  8. Add the pecans.
  9. After this is spooned onto a serving place, sprinkle with lemon juice (optional) and freshly grated cheese. If you'd like it a little sweet, you can add a small amount of brown sugar.
