Browned Brussels Sprouts With Hazelnuts & Lemon
- 12 cup hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered
- kosher salt
- 2 -4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- fresh ground black pepper
- Toast the nuts on a baking sheet in a 350F oven, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant and the skins are deep brown and cracked, about 15 minutes.
- Wrap the nuts in a clean dishtowel (one you don't mind staining); let steam for at least 5 minutes.
- Vigorously rub the nuts against one another in the towel to scrape off the skins (you won't get them all; aim for about half).
- Chop the nuts coarsely.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add the oil and butter.
- As soon as the butter melts, add the Brussels sprouts and spread evenly around the pan.
- Sprinkle with salt and cook without disturbing until browned on the first side, about 3 minutes.
- Continue to cook, stirring the sprouts occasionally, until they're well browned all over, another 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add 1/4 cup water, cover partially, and cook until tender, another 4 to 5 minutes (if the water evaporates completely during cooking, add more, 2 Tbs.
- at a time).
- Don't overcook; the sprouts shouldn't be mushy.
- Add the nuts.
- Season to taste with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Serve immediately or keep warm for up to 20 minutes.
