[Brussels Sprouts Braised with Chestnuts]
...Julia says this recipe goes particularly well with turkey, goose and duck...so it was a perfect side dish with our Christmas dinner...
...and it's really just two other recipes combined into one...
The master recipe for
VEGAN CHOUX DE BRUXELLES ÉTUVÉES AU BEURRE [Brussels Sprouts Braised in Butter] which requires the preliminary recipe for blanching them first...
VEGAN CHOUX DE BRUXELLES BLANCHIS [Blanched Brussels Sprouts - Preliminary Cooking]
...and the
VEGAN MARRONS BRAISÉS [Whole Braised Chestnuts]
...first...generously grease a casserole with Earth Balance...
...so after executing the preliminary recipes...you just add the chestnuts and Brussels sprouts to your casserole buttered with Earth Balance...
...pour over some melted Earth Balance...
...and then bake until the sprouts and chestnuts are tender...about a half hour baked with other things at 350° F...
...these were really delicious together...Scout said that the chestnuts tasted exactly like kidney beans...he said that if you gave him one with his eyes closed that's what he would have guessed that it was...it's a good pairing of flavors...
