SWEET-AND-SOUR BRUSSELS SPROUT

These super-flavorful sprouts with quick-pickled raisins are a snap to pull together and are just as delicious room temperature as warm from the pan.

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2/3 cup green (golden) raisins
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method: 

In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey and 1 tablespoon hot water. Stir in raisins and chile flakes and let sit for 20 minutes.   

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, shallots and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until sprouts are bright green and just tender, about 8 minutes. Pour in raisins and soaking liquid, and cook, stirring, until most of liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.
