Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1  garlic clove, minced

  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  finely chopped walnuts, toasted

I HATE brussel sprouts, but have been trying to find recipes to make for my husband and 3 year old, since I know they're good for us. This recipe rocks! I followed the recipe pretty closely, though I might have added a touch more cheese (I just guessed at the amount). I even had 3rds I liked it so much!12/26/09

I've now made this recipe 3 times to 3 different groups of friends and family - and it was a hit each time. Very light and very elegant. My best friend even liked them - and she hates brussel sprouts.12/26/09
