Brussels Sprouts - Stovetop with Toasted Pecan & Coconut Milk

Photo taken during the first step (in the skillet).
They are still soggy at this point.
This photo was taken before I discovered a similar recipe that called for cranberries.

This recipe calls for stovetop first, then baking.  Use a skillet that is oven proof so you won't need to mess up two pans!
I don't do the baking step every time, but baking gives them a bit of crispness, a nicely browned look, and, most importantly, keeps them from being soggy.
  • 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup pecans
  • cranberries or craisins
This recipe included craisins.  It's a great addition.  My sprouts were much paler than usual.  I was afraid they were not as fresh and maybe wouldn't be as tasty, but thankfully, they were still delicious!

  1. De-stem and halve Brussels sprouts.
  2. Place Brussels sprouts in a skillet on medium-high heat. Pour coconut milk over sprouts and stir occasionally until no milk remains. Add pecans and craisins - toast until pecans are golden brown.
  3. Stick the pan in the oven and bake for a bit until the sprouts are slightly browned.  Maybe 10-15 minutes.
