Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Brussels Sprouts

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups Brussels sprouts
1 cup chestnuts, peeled
1 large oranges, peeled and segmented
½ cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon canola oil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Trim each sprout by cutting a little piece off the bottom. With a small paring knife, make an X in the top of the sprout. Repeat with all sprouts and place in steamer over 2 inches of boiling water. Steam the sprouts covered for about 10 minutes or until tender.
  • Remove sprouts from pot and allow to cool. Cut each sprout in half and place in a casserole dish. Layer the chestnuts on top of the sprouts. Place the oranges on top of the chestnuts. If using whole roasted chestnuts, follow instructions in step 4
  • Add the broth and pour over all ingredients. Drizzle the casserole with oil. Grind in pepper and salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until oranges are soft.
  • To roast whole chestnuts: Mark an X on the rounded side of each chestnut with a pairing knife. Place all the chestnuts on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until soft. Let cool. Peel, trying to keep the chestnuts as whole as possible.
