Brussels Sprouts with Marjoram and Pine Nuts

From darbar 17 years ago

Think you don't like brussels sprouts? Think again: These are pretty irresistible.

3 tablespoons butter shopping list
1/2 cup pine nuts shopping list
1 1/2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, halved, or 1 1/2 pounds frozen brussels sprouts, thawed, halved shopping list
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth shopping list
2 shallots, minced shopping list
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram shopping list
1/3 cup whipping cream or half and half shopping list

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add nuts and stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to small bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add sprouts; stir 1 minute. Add broth; cover and simmer until sprouts are almost tender, about 6 minutes. Uncover and simmer until broth evaporates, about 5 minutes. Using wooden spoon, push sprouts to sides of skillet. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in center of same skillet. Add shallots; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in marjoram, then cream. Simmer until sprouts are coated with cream, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Stir over medium heat to rewarm.)
Transfer brussels sprouts to serving platter. Mix in half of pine nuts. Sprinkle with remaining pine nuts.

I luv brussels and this sounds like the perfect other way to eat them. But then it doesn't take much to get me to eat them, steamed with lashings of butter. yummm
