Ingredients
Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Fennel
- Ingredients
- 28 ozs Brussels sprouts
- 1 Fennel
- 4 Tbsps Canola oil
- 4 ozs Vegetable broth
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Rinse the brussels sprouts, remove the outer leaves, and cut into halves or quarters. Make sure that the leaves remain attached to the stem. Rinse the fennel, wipe clean, remove the stalk, and julienne.
Heat the oil in a large pan, and add the brussels sprouts and fennel. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add enough broth to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove the lid, and cook another 2-3 minutes, or until the broth has evaporated completely. Season to taste with the salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
