Tips:
- Choose firm and fresh Brussels sprouts. Look for sprouts that are bright green, tightly packed, and free of blemishes.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts. Cut off the stem end and any loose outer leaves.
- Blanch the Brussels sprouts. This will help to tenderize them and preserve their bright green color. To blanch, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Immediately transfer the sprouts to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the amaretto glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the amaretto, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Candy the Brussels sprouts. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring frequently, until they are browned all over. Add the amaretto glaze and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sprouts are evenly coated.
- Garnish with almonds. Before serving, sprinkle the candied Brussels sprouts with toasted almonds.
Conclusion:
Candied Brussels sprouts with almonds and amaretto glaze is a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The Brussels sprouts are tender and flavorful, and the amaretto glaze adds a touch of sweetness and sophistication. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
