Make Something Old is New Again!
Brussels Sprouts hit the culinary scene in a big way a few years back like bacon did. Everything and everyone had Brussels sprouts on their menu and in every dish it seemed. I have to admit, I tired of these little gems. This recipe adds some Asian flavors to this traditional side dish by coating Brussels sprouts in a delicious flavored butter. The heady aroma of saffron and delicate nuttiness of pistachios are perfect with this sprout recipe, while a sprinkling of chilli flakes adds a little heat helping revive a delicious side dish.
Saffron and Pistachio Butter Brussels Sprouts

Directions
Directions
Place the saffron threads into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of hot water. Allow to stand and infuse while you grind the pistachios.
Add the pistachios to a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a steamer and cook for 3–5 minutes, depending on their size, until cooked through and tender.
Meanwhile, add the butter, ground pistachios and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the saffron water and mix until combined.
Place a pan on a moderate heat and add the cooked sprouts. Spatula in the pistachio butter mixture and toss together for a few minutes so that it melts and coats the sprouts.
Finish with a sprinkling of chilli flakes and another pinch of salt to season, then serve while hot.
