BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECANS AND CRANBERRIES
When the first big Brussels sprouts of the year roll around in mid-October, this autumnal application with pecans and cranberries is the first dish I make. It's basically a cooked slaw, which we need more of, if you ask me.Since I hate washing the thing, I often skip the food processor and use a mandoline. My favorite for this is made by Kyrocera, and no they don't pay me to say that. It's a hand-held model with four different cut sizes. I use the 3mm for this. Wafer thin!This recipe first appeared in Season 12 of Good Eats.

Steps:
- Slice the Brussels sprouts using the thinnest slicing disc of a food processor. A mandoline or knife would also work.
- Set a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and add the pecans. Cook, stirring continually, until the pecans darken and begin to give off a toasted aroma, approximately 2 minutes.
- Add the butter to the pan and stir to combine. Once the butter has melted, add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring continuously, until the color brightens and the sprouts are just tender, approximately 6 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the cranberries, toss, and serve. Yes, it's really that simple.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES
There's nothing to this recipe-the preparation and cooking times are so quick. I sprinkle in a few dried cranberries, but you can let your imagination take over. Add a handful of raisins or walnuts at the end, or even sliced oranges. If your Brussels sprouts are large, cut them in half. -Ellen Ruzinsky, Yorktown Heights, New York
