Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Scallions (Gourmet)

An easy and delicious recipe from Gourmet Magazine (March 1996). You can make this ahead of time and rewarm before serving (even in the microwave!). Perfect for Thanksgiving or a holiday meal. Another very good twist on this recipe is to replace the lime juice with balsamic vinegar and the scallions with shallots. Yum!
