I was waiting for a complication…but nope, this looks super easy and delicious! On my winter cooking list!
This recipe must read my mind. I was just thinking about the bag of Brussels sprouts sitting in my fridge I need to use. I also have a bag of mandarin oranges, I think I will throw some of those in there too and use he walnuts. YUM!
Brussels sprouts are one of my favourite vegetables, but I’ve never pan-fried them before. I need to try that. I love how fast and easy it is to prepare!
