Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Walnuts
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
low-fat, low-salt chicken stock
2 shallots, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup toasted walnuts
Trim the Brussels sprouts, pulling off any yellowed or withered leaves. Cut an X in the stem of each sprout. Place in a pot and just cover with chicken broth. Simmer until just done, about 7 minutes. Remove sprouts from the broth. Simmer the broth until you have 2 tablespoons left. In a non-stick pan, sauté the shallots in olive oil until wilted. Place the sprouts in the pan and add the reduced broth. Set aside until ready to serve. To serve, reheat and garnish with toasted walnuts.
