CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Wow- earthy brussels sprouts cooked in a sugar-vinegar mixture- becomes heavenly! Taken from Better Homes & Gardens magazine, and upgraded! Brussels sprouts are hugely popular in Great Britain, where consumption far exceeds that of the United States. The exact origins of Brussels sprouts are unknown, but history places the vegetable in Brussels, Belgium, sometime in the sixteenth century. Thomas Jefferson is credited with introducing Brussels sprouts to the United States. He brought the plant to Virginia from Paris in 1821.

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS PASTA WITH TOASTED CHICKPEAS
This fast and satisfying vegetarian weeknight pasta packs in a whole pound of brussels sprouts. The mountain of shredded sprouts may seem like a lot, but like spinach, it will cook down. As the sprouts soften, they caramelize and naturally sweeten, losing any hints of bitterness. Chickpeas are toasted in olive oil until deep golden brown, crispy in spots and super toasty. They bring a nutty, earthy flavor to the dish, complementing the tangy capers and lemony sauce. Leftovers are tasty enjoyed cold like pasta salad, added to a frittata, or sautéed in olive oil until golden and topped with a fried egg.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add chickpeas, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and well toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chickpeas to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the butter, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the oil to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions in the boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the pasta water.
- Add the pasta, 1 cup reserved pasta water, about 3/4 of the toasted chickpeas and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the Dutch oven. Stir in the Parmesan, capers, lemon juice, red-pepper flakes and half the chives until well incorporated and saucy, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
- Divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining toasted chickpeas and chives. Garnish with more black pepper and Parmesan.
Tips:
- To save time, you can use pre-washed and trimmed Brussels sprouts.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the Brussels sprouts. This will prevent them from caramelizing evenly.
- If you don't have a large enough pan to cook all of the Brussels sprouts at once, you can cook them in batches.
- Be sure to season the Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper before roasting them.
- Garnish the Brussels sprouts with chopped pistachios, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled bacon before serving.
Conclusion:
Caramelized Brussels sprouts with pistachios is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The Brussels sprouts are roasted until tender and slightly charred, and then tossed with a sweet and savory glaze. The pistachios add a nice crunch and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
