I love brussels sprouts, and am always looking for new ways to make these. This recipe came from Southern Livings 40 Years of our Best Recipes. It adds the delicate flavors of carrot and celery to the brussel sprouts, with a crunchy cashew topping.

Rather than boil the vegetables, I steamed them, wanting to retain as much of the nutrients as possible! Also used lemon pepper in place of the usual S&P, but otherwise the recipe was followed, & we were very, very satisfied with these tasty little spheres! The nut-&-butter topping was outstanding & the recipe, a definite keeper! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Went to the Market tag]

Beautiful colors and taste! As a rule am only so-so about thyme on vegetables but in this case it really helps tie everything together. Made as written using a full cup of cashews just because did not want a dribble left. This is something will make again. Thanks for the post.

A nice new way to prepare brussel sprouts; the chicken broth really adds to the flavour. Next time I will omit the toasted nuts as it did not do the trick for us. But for sure I will use the steaming in chicken broth next time. Made for Every day is a Holiday.
