Brussels Sprouts With Walnuts

If people say they don't like Brussels sprouts, try this dish. It was a rave at my dinner party.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby Brussels sprouts, trimmed (try to find the smallest Brussels sprouts you can) shopping list
- 1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces shopping list
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter shopping list
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Trim the Brussels sprouts by taking off the outer leaves and cut in half. Soak in salted ice water for 1 hour in the refrigerator. (This is the secret trick to removing the "smell" associated with Brussels sprouts, it also works for cauliflower). Drain and rinse.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sprouts (or steamer); cook or steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and transfer to a bowl of ice to stop the cooking (can be prepared 1 day ahead to this point, store in an airtight container that is lined with paper towels to absorb the excess moisture).
- In a saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter together, when hot, add the Brussels sprouts and cook over moderately high heat until browned in places and hot.
- Add the balsamic, salt and pepper and toss until well combined, remove from heat and toss with the walnut pieces.
