Experimenting with Shredded Brussels Spourts

August 29, 2012

This week at Trader Joe’s I was on the hunt for Brussels Sprouts but unfortunately they were out. Instead, they did have a bag of shredded Brussels Sprouts which seemed like a good alternative, except that I had no idea what to do with them. After a quick search online I came across the perfect recipe which just so happened to include all ingredients that I had in my fridge.  Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Butternut Squash was easy to make and turned out to be delicious and filling. Even MM who is not a Brussels Sprouts fan enjoyed it and asked for seconds.

Here is the ingredient list, all of which you can purchased pre-cut & ready to go at Trader Joe’s, making this a very easy to prepare dish:

  • 1 lb Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 small butternut squash
  • 2 large shallots (so it would be like 4 pieces of large shallot since they come 2 per shallot)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp salt, divided, plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper, divided
  • Parmesan cheese, optional

My only edit to the recipe was that I added a half cup of corn and instead of just using shallots, I used a pre-cut mix from TJs of shallots, onion & garlic.

My food photography is sub-par so I will also leave you with a photo from Heather’s Dish (below) which is more beautiful and more likely to entice you to try out this recipe yourself.
