Brussels Sprout Leaves Sauteed With Lemon and Pistachios

Ingredients:

1 1/2 Pounds Brussels Sprouts
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Minced Shallot
3/4 Cup Shelled Unsalted Natural Pistachios, chopped
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice

Directions:

  • Core Brussels sprouts (I use the Chef'n Twist 'n Sprout) and then separate the leaves. Discard outer leaves.
  • Heat butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and stir 20 seconds. Add Brussels sprout leaves and pistachios, and sauté until leaves begin to soften but are still bright green, about 3 minutes.
  • Drizzle lemon juice over. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
