Brussels Sprouts with Pistachios, Lemon and Parmesan

I love Brussels sprouts and am always looking for another way to prepare them. I saw this method on a Bobby Flay cooking show and thought I'd give it a try. Fantastic...

 

Ingredients:

1 pound Brussels sprouts
1 lemon
1/8 cup shelled pistachios
Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:

Heat a 12" sauté pan to medium high heat. Take the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Add  the olive oil to the sauté pan and place the Brussels sprouts flat side down. Give the Brussels sprouts a grind of salt and pepper. Cover the sauté pan and let the Brussels sprouts sauté until they have a nice deep golden brown char on the one side. This should take about 20 minutes over medium to medium high heat. Check the sprouts often to ensure they're not burning. Adjust the heat accordingly, a little higher if they're not browning and a little lower if they're browning up too fast.

 

When the Brussels sprouts are finished cooking, add the juice from 1 lemon and pistachios and you're done.

 

To serve, place the Brussels sprouts on a plate and top with a drizzle of olive oil, grated parmesan cheese and a grind of salt and pepper.
