Creating Brussels Sprouts with White Balsamic Pear Chutney is simple. Follow these steps for a perfect outcome:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through.
- Cook Pear Chutney: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Pears and Spices: Stir in the diced pears, grated ginger, white balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens and the pears soften.
- Combine: Once the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and combine them with the pear chutney in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the sprouts with the chutney.
- Add Nuts: If using, fold in the toasted walnuts for an added crunch.
- Serve: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
By following these steps, you can create a delightful dish that beautifully blends savory and sweet.
