Step by Step Method

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Toast the walnuts in oven for 10 minutes. Cool

Step 3

Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil, add the sprouts and cook about 8-10 minutes, until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

Step 4

Bring another pan of water to the boil. Add the shallots or pearl onions and cook 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Slip the skins off and remove the stem ends

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large, heavy skillet. Put the shallots or onions into the pan, sprinkle with the sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the fennel and continue cooking 5 minutes.

Step 6

Combine the walnuts with the broth in a small pan and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the mixture is syrupy.

Step 7

Add to the shallots (or onions) and fennel along with the sprouts and remaining tablespoon butter. Stir over medium-low heat until the sprouts are heated through.

Oh my gosh, Mike! This combo of two of my favorite things - Brussels Sprouts and Fennel - is absolutely delicious! Such a change from our usual forms of prep for these. I love the sweetness that the fennel brings to the dish, and the unexpected tender crunch of the walnuts. This is totally a keeper - thanks for posting! Made for SWT 2019.
