Tamarind Maple Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- oil
- salt
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp tamarind purée
- 1 clove garlic, grated
Directions:
Heat oven to 425F.
Oil and salt brussels sprouts and arrange on a sheet pan. Roast until golden and tender, approx 15-20 min. Set aside.
Prepare the glaze: To a large skillet, add maple syrup, soy sauce, tamarind, and garlic. Place over medium-high heat and bring to the boil; it will start bubbling around the edges. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 1½ to 2 minutes.
Add the roasted brussels sprouts to the sauce and toss for 1 to 2 minutes, until the glaze thickens further and evenly coats them. Add the butter and once it melts, turn off the heat.
Transfer to a bowl, add the cashews and scallions and stir to combine. Season with a little more salt (and optional black pepper), to taste. Serve warm.
