Ingredient tip: Look for brussels sprouts sold still on the stalk; they’re fresher and easy to snap off when ready to cook. Small sprouts tend to be sweeter and more tender. Prep tip: To toast hazelnuts, bake raw nuts at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, until fragrant. Cool, then rub vigorously with a towel to remove papery skins.
Mustard-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts
Ingredients
- 2 pounds loose brussels sprouts or 1 large stalk with sprouts attached
- 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Trim any stems from sprouts, remove damaged leaves, then cut each in half. Steam until tender and bright green, about 10 minutes.
- While sprouts are steaming, whisk together cornstarch, allspice, and mustard in a small saucepan. When smooth, slowly whisk in broth and maple syrup. Whisk over medium heat until gently simmering. Whisk and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
- Remove cooked sprouts from pan, discard water, then return to pan. Add mustard sauce, butter or olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with hazelnuts. Serve immediately.
