What is a good recipe for a Thanksgiving dinner side dish?
Three things we always have on the holiday table- brussel sprouts, scalloped oysters and saurkraut- not your normal sides, but oh, so good! Brussel Sprouts Pignoli – 3 pounds fresh brussel sprouts, trimmed – 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste – 3/4 cup fresh grated parmesan or asiago cheese – 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts Directions Preheat oven to 400°. In a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, coarsely shred the brussel sprouts. If doubling this recipe, you will have to do the shredding in two batches. On one large or 2 medium baking sheets, toss the brussel sprouts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out in an even layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally so they do not burn. Watch them carefully. Remove from oven, sprinkle with parmesan or asiago cheese and toss. Bake for 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and top with toasted pine nuts. (0ptional). Can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Rewarm
