Brussel Sprouts with Pistachios

From a Whole Foods magazine about making holiday traditions healthy. I made 2 cookie trays worth of this the first time. 2 ½ cups doesn’t go far to satisfy our love of veggies.

Ingredients

4 cups Brussel sprouts, trimmed and quartered

3 shallots, quartered

½ to 1 cup stock

1 cup pistachios

splash of white wine or vermouth

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

Spray a baking tray (or 2).

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients. Spread them out on the tray.

Roast in the oven. The original recipe said 30 minutes, but when I put on convection, they seemed done in 15 minutes.

They were very soft, but not very browned or crispy. The recipe suggested tossing a little stock before serving, but our sprouts were still moist.

The recipe suggested using the broiler to make the leaves crispy, but I prefer them not burnt.
